That's a lovely haiku. Dandelions are beautiful and seem happy to me. Not a weed, as some people say.

I rather like dandelions too...something beautiful and graceful about that fluff ball...seems almost miraculous to me. Have a great day, Sara

Gosh this made me tear up: sigh: when time is near i guess we all feel it and theres no fighting it. Time also tells when its time to take on the wind! Your way with expressing is so soulful and evocative and so different. I really love the way youv phrased your thoughts and delivered this and also the picture you’ve used is so fitting. I hope you are ok. Im sending you light always: pleasure reading your work

dearest Ink--your words touched me...sometimes we all feel tired and incapable of 'taking on the wind.' Yet, we persevere despite the challenges and the blowing winds...thanks for your kind thoughts...and yes, I'm okay...great as a matter of fact. Hope you are okay as well. Thinking of you and sending you an e-hug, Sara

There comes a time when all children think they are ready to take on the wind. A brilliant haiku, Sara.

An image I love to see, we could tell the time when we were kids, blow on the flower and count until they were all gone lol. Tom

Bad choice, sort of like suicide in a human's life / death. You got my attention with this Haiku, Sara. I like it! Your westside writing bear, Bill
