Buttercups

Lots of buttercups
Spread onto my lawn
Look so much better
Than dandelions

The colour brightens
All the grass
Making it better
With the colour spread.

Darlene, I see you've been on PS for a while. This is really cute, The comparison to dandelions makes me smile. Sounds like you have a lawn that you leave to its own devices. Some of us go crazy trying to get the weeds out, but we are fighting a losing battle.

back here again, Darlene, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@

This form is more free verse not ABC...there is a form tab on the top of the page SO next time you can check....I'd invest in weed be gone to get rid of the pesky infiltration
