Willow and Ginkgo By Eve Merriam

The willow is like an etching Fine-lined against the sky The willow is like an etching Fine-lined against the sky. The ginkgo is like a crude sketch Hardly worthy to be signed.

The willow’s music is like a soprano Delicate and thin The willow’s music is like a soprano Delicate and thin. The ginkgo’s line is like a chorus With everyone joining in.

The willow is sleek as a velvet-nosed calf; The ginkgo is leathery as an old bull.

The willow’s branches are like silken thread; The ginkgo’s like stubby rough wool.

The willow is like a nymph with streaming hair; Wherever it grows, there is green and gold and fair. The willow dips into the water, Protected and precious, like the king’s favorite daughter.

The ginkgo forces its way through gray concrete; Like a city child, it grows up in the street. Thrust against the metal sky, Somehow it survives and even thrives.

My eyes feast upon the willow, But my heart goes to the ginkgo.
