John Lawless Poet Free verse

I Gave Her a Dandelion

A cool damp spring day
Jonquils shivered
Dandelions danced dizzily
Swaying slowly in a chill wind
Sensually strutting their stuff
Unashamedly celebrating their weedness
Bowing to the jeering crowd
The glow of their sunshine faces
Savoring freedom
While dreaming of a flower vase

I gave her a dandelion
                                 ... It wept

Snoopy replies to his 'speech': "I can believe it looked at you, but I can't believe it growled..." I can believe it wept :)
