Dandelions

Always in the limelight
Cheerful and bright

I find you as wonderful
As you are bountiful

Yellow dots swaggered
Here and there scattered 

Like a child’s laughter
You epitomize summer

Dandelions wild and free
You are beautiful to me

Timothy Mcguire Date: 10/27/2018 9:13:00 PM I love them too. I shake my head at the time money and chemicals used to get rid of them.

Lindsay Laurie Date: 10/27/2018 6:19:00 PM G'day Line ... nice couplet and like you, I too appreciate the dandelion. I also have posted a dandelion poem on its benefits - thank you Line - Lindsay Login to Reply Line Gauthier Date: 10/27/2018 6:51:00 PM Absolutely, Lindsay! I will look up your poem. Thanks for your lovely visit and comment.

P.S. Awtry Date: 10/27/2018 9:45:00 AM I too am a fan of the dandelion. One day scientists will find it cures something! And when I see one I can almost hear it "pssts..." like it wants to tell some one the secret of why it has been placed everywhere and stubbornly survives though faced with unrelenting opposition. Your poem is a lovely and elegant tribute to the "wild and free" dandelion :) Login to Reply Line Gauthier Date: 10/27/2018 10:44:00 AM Thank you so much for your lovely visit and comment, PS. I have had dandelion greens in salad and dandelion wine. Both seemed pretty nutritious.

Caren Krutsinger Date: 10/27/2018 6:37:00 AM I am so glad that you have immortalized and lovely-ized one of my personal favorite flowers. They are all over my yard with clover, both encouraged by me. Beautifully done, Line. My dandies and I both thank you. Login to Reply Line Gauthier Date: 10/27/2018 10:45:00 AM Thank you so much, Caren, for your most appreciated visit and comment.
