Notes About The Poem

Dandelion Wishes

Walk with me where wildflowers grow
among weeds and thistle in the meadow.
We'll share memories from years gone by.
Then, hold hands beneath a lavender sky,
and make a wish on dandelion wings of gold.
That's how they come true, so I've been told.

Lin, I have to wonder if this relates to the Van Gogh painting. Of course there are no trees here. May all of your wishes come true! I think the world would be a much better place!

These lines were not influenced by Van Gogh... much too simple an interpretation on my part rather than something from out in left field. Thanks, Duke, and Happy Valentine's Day to you.

Lin, This takes me back to being a young girl and picking dandelions with my younger sisters . We would wish and blow their fluff to the sky …. Then pick another and repeat ! Big hugs, Susan :)

My sister and I grew up in the country, so we did the same. Thank you very much, Susan.

Beautiful poem! Wildlife and wildflowers are so natural in wild land. That's the main reason for me to love countrysides! Have a good day dear sweet poetess Lin Lane ~ AA
