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

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
