~ Poem Of The Day ~
October 28, 2024
Poet’s Note: this poem was composed to reflect the beauty and strength of a woman, any woman, all women as they endure the travails of life and prevail. I relish the perseverance of this “sweet dandy-lass” and admire her persistence to rise above adversities and embrace enjoyments secure in her strength and identity as a “dandelion woman”. May the dandelion woman’s defiant spirit survive and thrive despite hardships, may her golden brilliance outshine the July sun and may we all hold up a woman’s worth in our highest esteem .
*sparks for larks: refers to a seed, a genesis of something, growing an idea, a stirring to activity, a source of inspiration, motivation for amusement, adventure, a quest for fun… or it could simply mean that the speaker has a nurturing nature towards lovely larks :)
*Farrah-haired: refers to the blonde, feathered, blown-out hairstyle made famous in the 70’s by Farrah Fawcett, one of the original Charlie’s Angels.
