Excellent

Best poem I've read today! I'm not very keen on poetry rules, but should you have capitalized the word Great in the second stanza?

Other than that, I wouldn't change a thing! Great poem!

There was not a single reason for it to be capitalized other than an accident! Thanks for the catch :-) And thanks for the review! Brooke :-)

My guess is it was a good cut-and-paste gone bad.

Brooke this is definetly
a glowing poem with the
wonderful lines you've
given us and the images
they create. Your cadence
coupled with your rhyme
makes this such a lilting
read that it is a pleasure
to let the words dance on
the tongue. One can easily
imagine the meadow fields
where bursts of golden flowers
grow. No spags or nits.. :)Lora

Very nice! Good rhyme scheme and meter, and I was drawn right into the visual aspect, picturing your wildflowers. I hope to see more of your poems.

Even with blinders on, I can tell this is probably written by one of my favorite poets (I have several on FS...sorry! hehe). The lines flow perfectly and the imagery is vivid. The rhyme scheme and rhythm seems perfect as well. Nicely written.

I have loved the dandelion since they grew all over my childhood lawn and I picked them for my mother, and then my children picked them for me. They are gloriously beautiful and to this day I have no blooming idea why people try to rid their lawns of them! Thank you, Jo Lynn, even if you don't seem to be really sympathetic to my choice!!
