What a beautiful poem! I am humbled that you chose my photo. This shot amazed me, in all of its simplicity. I think the simple beauty works wonderfully with your beautiful piece of poetry. Thank you!

Very nicely put. I love the fact that your poem points out that you can admire or even desire a quality you don't have but that there are qualities that you do have that are just as beautiful. Lovely.

This was a nice poem but I sincerely hope that there are dandelions and daffodils in heaven or whatever is in the next life. They are two of my favorite flowers.

Comment from Matthew M.
I remember a poem similar to this one. I am a little confused on who the narrator is for it. I am thinking the narrator is the flower and that flower loves the beauty all around it because the flower gets to see dandelions and dafodilllies. An interesting thought is that if you are low to the ground you can always look up. If you fly then you can only look down on people.

Hi Brooke,
I would not have guessed the picture you chose is that of a dandelion as the ones I am use to seeing aren't near that pretty. I love the personification of the flower and its resolve to be happy while earthbound. Lovely poem from your gifted pen....blessings, chey

Comment from Alan K Pease
You don't fly Brooke - you soar through clouds far above looking down on us in philosophical, practical and loving ways tempered by you own skills which are many and measured in rhyme, rhythm and song.

Comment from Cariboubill
Good rhyme scheme. I like the way you tie in the fact that you can't fly, pointed out in the first verse, with not being companion to the whippoorwill or jay in the last verse. Man was made for the Earth and the Earth was made for man. The beauties of the Earth are satisfying.

Comment from Starlit Ink
Daffodillies was an unusual and elegant word to use that added interest to the poem. Isn't it wonderful that gravity puts us close to the grand displays of the Earth. What a nice thought and just a superb poem, perfect for welcoming springtime.
