They stumble in
without invitiation
to some, a mere nuisance
in the world of arbor
litter on the regal ground

some bestow upon them
worship,
in repose or new growth
right beside them
and others, 9 - 5 ers
prefer a glimpse of newborn
spring as the butterfly
floats by,

but I
yes I

find magic

as they wander
in yellow, cross referenced
by green
as they morph from yellow
to white, white to yellow
etc,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

soon enough
screaming havoc
on your tailored lawns

(and then you try to kill them!!!!)

i rather be surrounded, sounded
in their lullaby

their magic/tragic
shortlived kingdom

the dreams they bring
to lips upon white linen sky

blowing
blowing
blowing....................

childhood wishes
by way of dandelion.

Ah,MizInkyOne~

I find such beauty in the dandelions dancing the lawn~
These days are made for wishing~

I remember making many wishes on dandelions.
To me the dandelions and this poem are beautiful.

Thank you for writing this great emotion filled piece for the beautiful dandelions, dear Michele. I love them too, so much. And oh how I hate it to see how they cut their lovely heads off, I almost hear their screams.
Love,
Margherita

Awesome!  They have the happiest faces of all the flora...their reign may be brief, but it is spectacular!
