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 AP: 3rd place, 3rd place 2020 Submitted on October 27, 2018 for contest OVERLOOKED BEAUTY sponsored by JESSE ROWE - RANKED 8TH

I love them too. I shake my head at the time money and chemicals used to get rid of them.

They certainly are pretty. Thanks for your lovely visit and comment. I have not had dandelion wine in well over thirty if not forty years.

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 :)

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.

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.
