DANDELION: An Original Poem


I thought I'd stay with the flower theme--and the color yellow. I've already posted poems about daffodils, the daisy, and forsythias. Yesterday, when I went outside with my camera to take photographs of flowers that might provide me with inspiration for writing poems, I found one lonely dandelion growing near my Rose of Sharon bush. Here's one of the pictures I took of it:

And here is an early draft of the poem I wrote about that dandelion:

DANDELION

A feathered sun
growing in a sky of green,
its spiky corona radiating gold—
one bright star
lighting up our lawn
