Dandelions - weed or flower? The bane of the gardener's existance, I still find dandelions nearly irresistible. I know I shouldn't pluck its lolly shaped bloom and close my eyes and make a wish and blow... but how can I not?? Their delicate repeating patterns, the floating seeds like parachutes on the wind. Catching the slightest breeze, glinting in the sunlight, childhood memories calling me to blow and wish and enjoy their simple gift. I'll deal with the damnable weeds once the seeds have flown.Wednesday, March 31, 2010

ReplyDeleteI wrote you a little poem Rachel, about you4 little dandelions and realized that I forgot something and it deleted the whole post, so here I will try again!
ReplyDeleteWishing faeries softly blown off their perch
ReplyDeleteswirling in the breeze with pale spinning skirts
Eyes bright with expectation
to see your tiny glowing wings
Dandelion faeries come dance on the breeze
Beautiful Lynda! I love it!
ReplyDeleteWeed of flower doesn't matter. You have made a nice piece of art out of it.
