Dandelion Love

Dandelion Love

Gossamer poufs,                                      

wind driven little parasols

carrying away destinies,

when thousands become admired-

yellow on green spring tapestries.

Others foster disdain as weedy pests.

Some find purpose in early salad bowls.

A few stain yellow delighted noses,

and several very lucky ones grow to be strung into a crown

presented as tribute from a smitten little Trevor to his prince Jason

so honored by this grand gesture

he gives Trevor his first romantic kiss

and they giggle in spring bloom

of dandelion love.
