Dandelion

Löwenzahn / Dandelion / Diente de león (Kaintaishi) Am Feldrand nahe dem Wald Zwischen den Hecken ganz klein Leuchtet Löwenzahn hervor Farbkleckse auf dunklem Grün At fields's edge near the woods Between the hedges quite small The dandelion shines forth Blurs of colour on dark green Al borde del campo cerca del bosque Muy pequeño entre los setos Adelanta brilla el diente de león Borrónes de color en verde oscuro

like little sunshines in the hedge bottom, just as long as they aren't in my lawn :)

One of nature's prettiest and sturdiest wild flower, Gert. Glad you appreciate enough to write this Haiku. Enjoyed. Always, Annalise

So many people think of dandelions as weeks, but to me they are like little drops of yellow sunshine. You describe them beautifully, Gert. Love, Carolyn

LOve it. I always feel bad that people hate that poor flower so much. It is not really a weed! LUv, Andrea
