Dandelions Poem by Jim Butler
Dandelions
A burst of color,
Vivacious yellow,
An exquisite beauty,
This little fellow.
Beware its splendor,
From an outside look,
For deep within
Is a little crook.
It grasps the life
Of its friend,
Strangles, hurts,
Holds to the end.
When all of those
Around turn dry,
It is then the beauty
Sits on high.
They attack to satisfy
Their own needs,
Not caring of others
Hearts and deeds.
If they were gone,
Would life be strong?
Would it keep going
Feeling we belong?
What would life be
If there was no such thing
Could it be better
Without these weeds?
I loved it! It was silly but it had a message too. Great job.
This is great! i really like it! i think my favorite part was the crook part. it's cute.
This is great, Jim. I think it turned out just the way you intended.
It reminds me of when I used to pick dandelions for my mother and she'd keep them in the house, displaying them like they were really pretty flowers.
Wow, Jim. VERY beautiful! Dandelions are weeds technically, but I think they are amazing looking flowers :) KUDOS! ! You get +25 rad points :)
i love this one very much. nature is such an intriguing part of life. u captivated it so well.
Aww very good imagery. However i agree with Rachael it seems theres more to the dandelions like they have another meaning then weeds. Good use of words too!
This poem makes me think of other things and not just weeds. Like dandelions are a metaphor for something else. Love your writing.
I say that dandelions are pretty, and should be planted as flowers in flower gardens...
