Dandelions - Visual 1

Dandelions – Visual 1


Stems rooted as future generations silently drift
Dancing in the awakening of hope’s enlightening sunrise
Buoyed upon the updrafts of fate and synchronicity.

Reason A. Poteet Date: 2/11/2015 7:42:00 AM Congratulations, John, as I get older, I'm tempted to let nature have her way and quit killing the dandelions (ha, ha) but then then my "peer" group would report me to the neighborhood police. Login to Reply

Appreciate the time and effort and expertise you put into the contests you administer.
