Dandelion Head

a cluster of dreams
waiting for a puff of wind -
the freedom to roam

Judy Ball Date: 7/31/2020 9:41:00 AM Love this Paul Dandelions are great. They have beautiful flowers and if you make a wish and puff on the seed heads if all of them float away your wish will come true. Also there is more iron in the leaves than in spinach. You can eat them in a salad or boil them and eat them with a boiled egg like spinach. Great poem.God Bless and good luck in the contest. JB Login to Reply Paul Callus Date: 8/6/2020 2:08:00 PM Thank you for reading and for the feedback, Judy. Yes, dandelions are good to eat, especially raw, when they are fresh and young. They can also be steamed or added to a stir-fry. ~ Best regards // paul
