a picture I took at Willistead Park, standing amongst my friends…Dandelions!!!
Some people hate dandelions
I cannot fathom such nerve
They are playfully yellow
When quiet. observed
Some people tear them
Away from their Earth
A decapitation
Of a flower at birth
I love them, damnit!
They make me feel
like an oil painting
A flash of surreal
They are the first to arrive
And let us know
That fairer skies
Are in the fold
And I can’t help it
I crouch and touch
The delicate petals
my springtime crush
Please! Save the dandelions
They are so brave
Your green golf lawns
Are murderous graves
Helping grandpa trim the bush….not the least concerned with grumpy gargoyle friend.
Love this Michelle!
