Barbara Peckham Poet Rhyme

Dandelions

It seems where’er they tend to grow
Dandelions steal the show.
Perky yellow smiling faces
Turning up in lots of places.

Don’t know why folks hate them so,
Why they work to make them go!
Not only do they brighten grass,
They cheer up rooms when placed in glass.

The dandelion has excuses
Because it has some other uses.
People make delicious wine,
Better than grapes from off a vine.

I even know that tasty teas
Are made from dandelion leaves,
So when you see their cheery grace
Let dandelions have their space!

Rico Leffanta August 13, 2021 at 11:42 AM America's Funniest Videos feature many videos of children inhaling the seeds instead of blowing them on Milton's lawn . . . . .Enjoyed your well thought and scribed poem!

L Milton Hankins August 12, 2021 at 8:29 PM Amen! They are so bright and cheery especially in the spring when everything has been so drab. I let them grow in my hard as long as I can before I must cut the grass, and then, I leave a few patches. The neighbor complains, but he is a jerk. I love them! Barbara Peckham August 13, 2021 at 6:43 PM Why do people think cultivated flowers lovely and their wild counterparts ugly? No accounting!
