Gregory Richard Barden Poet Haiku

Notes About The Poem

 

Borne Bright On the Breeze

dandelion drift


               soft the seeds set sail windward ...


     next year's bright meadow

Daniel Turner May 26, 2019 at 8:06 AM Congratulations on POTD, Greg. "Next year" around here it's more like next week! Dandelions are my nemesis. I work in my yard nearly everyday and I am forever digging them up with a hoe. Gregory Richard Barden May 27, 2019 at 3:28 PM I have to agree with you Daniel, though it is a love-hate relationship for me, as I so adore their beauty and phases and hearty "personalities", (and a decent tea, when done right), but, oh, those roots!! Blessings, my friend! :-)
