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 22 March 2021 For "Moments of Reflections- Haibun Poetry Contest" Sponsored by Malabika Choudhury 1st place Entered for All Yours(June 17) Poetry Contest Sponsored by Brian Strand

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 !
