Notes About The Poem

Yellow

Yellow
Fills my lawn
Weeds to some, are-
Dandelion blessings
To me.

Michelle, this is one of my favorite flowers. I nurture the dandelion and cherish her. My bunnies and deer adore my yard because of her. Thank you for writing this in her honor.

Oh I like this! I always wonder what God is trying to tell us in the dandelion. It is a very interesting plant! and as you've said, a blessing :)

Great Cinqku! I love dandelions in my salads and drinking dandelion tea with lavender honey and lemon. Tasty and nutritious. Like the poem.
