Lined with a fence of modeling chocolate,
treats and sweets but never gingerbread;
My garden grows popcorn and cotton candy
eat all you like it just keeps germinating;
Treats and sweets but never gingerbread,
my cupboard is all out of fondant;
Eat all you like it just keeps germinating
pappi’ caught in sugared shrubbery;
My cupboard is all out of fondant,
such a taste has never tempted me;
Pappi’ caught in sugared shrubbery,
perhaps they wait for a melted heart;
Such a taste has never tempted me,
so sweet it overpowers the bitter;
Perhaps they wait for a melted heart,
I’m not one for pure cane or phony;
So sweet it overpowers the bitter;
My garden grows popcorn and cotton candy
I’m not one for pure cane or phony,
lined with a fence of modeling chocolate.

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.

A plethora of bright yellow flowers;
pop up in fields and lawns in early Spring.
And watered by tepid April showers,
swiftly spread, overtaking everything.
Able to transform the ground overnight;
they turn green grass into a golden fleece.
And then, morph into a magical sight
as pappi fill the air upon release.
Although commonly known as pesky weeds,
dandelions are also picked to eat.
And utilizing tufts to spread their seeds;
they're notoriously hard to defeat.
Despite suburbanite's ongoing rants,
dandelions are perennial plants.

dandelion tufts
a flotilla of pappi
parachuting seeds
