Dandelions,
yellow and bright
grace my yard all around.
Soon becoming
a fluff of seeds
scattered into the wind,
landing where they may
to spread more seeds
and start the process
all over again.
When I was a child,
I loved to pick
the fluffy ones.
I’d blow and blow
on the seed heads,
sending the seeds
flying where the breeze
would take them.
What fun that was!
Little did I know
at that age of innocence
I was helping the dandelions,
yellow and bright,
to grace our yard
all summer long.
