Dandelions

when little hands grasp dandelions
and label "pretty yellow fluff"
to gently feel the golden plush in olden years
is this enough?

but no the weed is taking over
all the pleasing flowers lost
and dandelions all must go
make way for petals primped and glossed

Very intrigued by your story here....unexpectedly as well so i shall explore more, wonderful use of words :)

Dandelions are beautiful but they are categorized as 'weeds'. Your poem gave me an idea...
Maybe we should be thinking like little children and find the unexpected beauty in things... you did this beautifully...

I love the sentiment in this poem; dandelions have always had a special place in my heart! You express beautifully the fact that social convention can blind us to true beauty. Thanks for sharing this.

I like how it shows that even though dandelions are weeds, they are still beautiful. It's kind of like no matter what social class a person is in, they can still be great people. Good write, I enjoyed it. =D
nice.

that's so gorgeous and sad at the same time. sadly that's what happens to dandelions these days, but some of us still care about them and let them bloom in our gardens. a very fine write. =)
