we
were
once
one
dandelion

sharing
a
stem

but you
leave,

our crown
flies off,

white feathers
on the
cross winds,

you go places

and i
can only
dream,

standing
stembound

married
to the
earth
that
holds me,

i have
no choice

but
to release

and wish
you well.

I have always liked the way you write. This sounds sad, though.

How exquisite! Dandelions are so fickle! I for one can not resist their sunshine, however.

Excellent use of imagery and expression, poignant and softly powerful....I do relate and will save this for someone.

Intellectually I know that Canada is no better than any other country. Emotionally I KNOW that Canada is the best country in the world!

Great imagery here Mish!
I enjoy the way you present life's vicissitudes
riding on the spent petals of a dandelion.

The dandelion holds deep meaning to me...it's very nature both of air and earth. I loved your poem!

Lovely, poignant, [sad as Sy has noted]
Caught on the wind,
dandelion puff dreams,
scatter everywhere-
no limit in this vast sky,
whether rooted or unrooted.
