I Am

Human dandelion in a world of weed killers, colour of sunshine yet despised for being me... or one’s seed so prolific. © Harry J Horsman 2012

oh, Harry, YAYYYYY. I am so happy to see this got on the winner list. I completely forgot the title of this poem and did not recognize it on the winners' list, but yes, it's the dandelion poem. Congrats to you!

Dandelions are pretty yellow flowers. The leaves are edible, and they can be made into a not so bad wine. Why do we hate them? Really liked your poem. Congratulations.

I have no language because i am being made silent by seeing the depth of your dandelion, great philosophy of self definition, revenge and propagation. Best wishes from me, loved always, bl

WOWSER, you copied my trio of dandelion poems from one of my books. That is AMAZING (hardly anyone has my books, hahaha) and how interesting that it's also a dandelion poem like my newest one I wrote for another contest here yesterday. Thanks for the honor of copying my poem. I LOVE how you did yours. I hope it scores high for ya!!
