DANDELION
In a chiaroscuro of shapes your hand,
Pledging a bouquet so winsome and,
Bursting with this gift desire of miles,
Of weightless flights to carve smiles,
On the moon or hearts aflame with,
The wonder of magical dreams;
Formless shadows part the streams,
Of night bringing to day time,
Sweet senses with changes in clime,
Passing through asteroids in orbit;
Morning sun delights her kisses,
Where baskets carried by their misses,
Pluck the fragrance of radiant blooms;
An array of colours, array of plumes,
And there among them waning dandelions.

I do love the sight of dandelion fluff floating by, even if it means I need to do some digging in my lawn later (so as not to upset the neighborhood association watchdogs).

Yes, dandelions do give up quickly once plucked don't they? I remember in England many years ago they were the flowers that children first picked to give their mothers! The poem is really beautiful the whole way through. Gillena.
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by Robin. My first encounter with Dandelions is when i vacationed in London. they are to me magical adrift

Morning sun delights her kisses,
ReplyDeleteWhere baskets carried by their misses,
Pluck the fragrance of radiant blooms
The young girls will do full justice in their pickings. Great lines, gillena

How beautifully you lead us up to that gift of the dandelions.
ReplyDeleteI have a special place for dandelions and violets. They were abundant wild flowers in eastern Nebraska where I grew up. Especially in the schoolhouse play yard.
