Notes About The Poem

The Dandelion Seeds

Midst the bosom of an exuberant field nestles a lonesome dainty dandelion.
I was here so many times before but I didn't see its existence like today. 
Despite the blossoming azalea flowers behind it, it never fails to exude
an ethereal captivating beauty ~ reminding me how fleeting moments are ~ 
no matter how good, they wont last! I kneel down to feel the magic of its spell and touch its skinny stem instead  lest I might pluck the fragile petals. I close my eyes in reverie, but before I could make a wish~

                                         star-like seeds disperse
                                                  adrift in the air so swift
                                                          left alone ~ the moon

Valsa George March 2, 2022 at 8:10 AM Beautiful Haibun on Dandelions ! Yes, the seeds of the dandelion disperse so swift, giving rise to hundreds of young plants. Their yellow flowers when seen together are a marvel . Your haiku and prose are equally arresting !
