It all begins with seeds flying on tiny threads-
thousands of milky parachutes drifting silky,
they are seeking a place- they are seeking a space;
to reach into the earth and to their sprouts give birth.
Undisturbed they can grow for years and years and years,
the dandelion is strong and rich in nectar;
beneficial to bees and insects like lady bugs.
This dandelion sun flower has great power,
soon a bud will unfold and then a bloom of gold;
for days the flower shines until withering declines.
It forms a seed head that opens into silk strands,
that fly on the wind gracefully until landing;
some think of dandelions as pesky nuisances,
invasive and threatening to green lawns and parks.
As a kid I gave them as a bouquet gem,
I used to love to blow on a dandelion to see the seeds go;
some people even dine on dandelions and make wine.
You can cut them down but again they will crown,
I've heard of many remedies but I've not heard of any;
way to kill, so on my lawn they grow still and still.
