it’s the downy kite stuff
of wandered wishes, childish
dreams and fragile hope.
so much pondered
promise in the
audacity
and tenacity
of a simple weed.
we don’t stop to doubt
or wonder why. we just
take a deep breath
and
fly.

Should I ask the lord’s gardener
for direction
my dandelions think
they are sunflowers?
It was just a short term thing
now my dandelions
have white hair like me
some have even lost it
on top.
Ha! I love that, Dennis!
Having an overwhelming to huff, puff and blow right now!!! Well penned, my friend.
Thank you so much, Helen.
I love the shape and structure of this De, especially those seeds floating upwards on the breeze!
I agree. Quite effective!
Thanks to both of you! 🙂
I love everything about this, De. 💙 And like others, I love the shape, and I’m very tempted to go outside now and look for some dandelions puff on!
Thanks so much, Merril. Appreciate the inspiration!
You’re very welcome!
Beautiful audacity! Beautiful poem. ❤
Thank you! 🙂

Thank you so much.
Beautiful poem as well as the structure of the poem. Creativity at its best. 🙂
Thanks, Kitty!
You are welcome. 🙂
I think if I could, I would let go
be fluff, with a payload of seed.
Ah, that we could, B. Divine.
This is absolutely stellar writing, De! I especially love; “so much pondered promise in the audacity and tenacity of a simple weed.” I agree! 💝💝
Thank you so much, Sanaa.
“let seeds fly” — I love that clever ending.
Thank ya, ma’am. 🙂
Beautiful De. Let it fly!!!
