The BlueIris Semi-Nightly Poetry Break, 8/12/09
"Dandelions"

When flowers
are played out
at the end of summer,
the dandelions
pack up
and leave their lawns,
heading out
into the winds
like men
who ask nothing;

beards tufted
bodies thin and dry,
they travel
the unknown lengths of fate
seeking the dreams
of spring
and the loves that wait.

~J. Paul Baron

2. I've been in a dandelion-finding craze of late.
Everywhere I go, I find piles of them.

4. You should have watched "Chopped" l;ast night!
Dandelion greens were one of the mystery ingredients.
