Andrea Dietrich Poet Sonnet

In the Dusting of Springtime

In the dusting of springtime,
sweet scented thoughts of yesterday
come as star jasmine starts to climb
and in the breeze I see it sway.
I recall the scent of rose,
of lilac and the trumpet vine -
their fragrance wafting to my nose -
becoming soon a scent divine
attracting bees and butterflies
to my mom’s lovely garden spot.
Pappi fluff drifted to the skies,
scattering seeds, which were a lot!
The fruit this fluffy dust would bring
were dandelions of our spring.

Sotto Poet May 29, 2023 at 6:23 PM With great eloquence, you capture the essence of spring's floral beauty, particularly the enchanting roses. However, amidst this picturesque scene, the pesky dandelions persistently loom, eager to disperse their countless seeds.

Victor Buhagiar May 26, 2023 at 1:26 AM One could put bunches of flowers around the house and keep it fresh. Hugs.

Nancy Kaufman May 25, 2023 at 2:09 PM what a lovely aroma you painted with the garden of your words. Probably will come in 1st on this one.. Andrea Dietrich May 25, 2023 at 3:18 PM I can only wish. I just read an amazing entry. I think it was Vijay. Not sure

Daniel Turner May 25, 2023 at 1:41 PM Im down with the sweet smelling flowers but you can keep your dandelions:) LOL Seems like everyone likes to blow those darn seeds. Andrea Dietrich May 25, 2023 at 3:17 PM they are really important to keep up the bee population. If people use weed poison on them, it kills bees and other creatures. I think just mowing one's yard a lot makes the yard look ok. Too bad my hubbie won't mow often!
