I Am a Bitterweed

I enjoy turning the cow's milk sour as they graze on me hour by hour Simply because the farmers you see Run their tractors straight over me! I have sunset flowers of Yellow And most of the time I'm mellow I light up the fields for those passer by And hear them exclaim, "Oh My Oh My But out of respect I'll simply say Enjoy my color and have a nice day! ----------------------------------------------- Bitterweed means toxic

Thank You Kash....Here's a tip (that you don't need) but...a gardenia as well as a magnolia cannot be sent as a flower gift to someone as they turn yellow where the fingers touch. Meanwhile my florist friend learned that if she put the Gardenia arrangement together in ice water ...(yes underwater) it worked well and met with a fine surprising delivery...LOL....Congrats on your win....it is a real winner....

Oooh! I'll never look at a dandelion the same way again, Judy. Excellent use of irony to evoke that "Aha moment"! If I think in terms of personification, perhaps you look for the good in everyone (weed or fancy flower) and that is a great quality to have. Way to go, Judy!
