Season of dandelions

2018 Photo by Grace@Everyday Amazing


Your yellow faces mirror the sky's mantle
Brightening paths of grey 
Sway your pinwheel blooms to slather 
sunshine and green into our steps

Underneath cherry and magnolia petals
you root where the wind carries you-
you weed with careless swagger of young
heart, not caring for tomorrow's rain

Stay awhile as tulips bloom
And fruit trees dip with peach flowers
Gloriously cascading rain-soaked plumes 
This season of spring has short hours

Remind me, not to count how long
you are around, twirling cotton stars
But to inhale your season with gusto
As you bob to sounds of tambourines

Cloudy with rain showers

sprinkle me with raindrops-
i am new

sunshine eyes, tulip-pale
blossoming

swishing my skirts, i bring out 
dancing shoes

with my umbrella, i'm 
skipping thru rain

dandy with daffodils-
i grin -   spring!!
