the dandelion heralds spring and sometimes it does bring out some evil thing known as a pesticide that kills the lowliest plants please if you can put away the can of spray and re-think about what you are doing do not poison your mother earth she gave you birth now thank her and appreciate the other things she gave birth to even if you are too low on the thinker's scale to understand or value, the intrinsic worth of such a thing I honor the dandelions and wish them well as I wish for all those nasty sprays to shrivel up and go to well, you know..... |

I feel the same about those deadly sprays but this - "too low on the thinker's scale to understand or value, the intrinsic worth ..." could apply to so many other things in life. Well said because a lot of people busy themselves with busy-ness and therefore have no time to think. |

And they SHOULD scare you James, and yet, your nice friendly neighbor who sprays...especially on a windy day, just might be your worst case scenario. The point is, its all meant to KILL, and it does a good job of that. Fishes, amphibians, birds... |

It's the farmers and the neighbors I am concerned about. I love the poem Kacy. I love dandy lions too. |

I know Midnight But sometimes you can't hand cut all the weeds and in this criminalise everyone and everything UK Government, failing to keep your garden could relate in an anti-social order and five years in jail for breaking it, even if you couldn't have the strength, or the money to pay for someone, or do it yourself.

Really nice poem though when I red it I thought of how this poem can apply to all things that may stand out and we've tried to get rid of or shun out. For example: an awkward hair or mole, a genre of music, a certain religion or belief ...Really dandelions can be anything. Maksym |
