Hi Brooke,
I think that breeze has been busy on my back lawn! I've lots of dandelions with buttercups and daisies. Folks call them weeds - I like them!
Good luck in the contest.

Excellent, I love the theme, nature helping each other to accomplish the ultimate new life. Great form. I simply enjoyed the poem from beginning to end.

Hey, Brooke, I love your personification of the dandelion. I do have to admit, however, I didn't feel sorry for your little protagonist. Achew! See what I mean, lol. Hugs, Lou

Lou, sorry about the allergies. For years flowers and such bothered me severely and then I just up and outgrew it. One of the few benefits of getting older. Thanks so much for your review :-) Brooke

Lucky you. My allergies kicked in big time when I moved to Houston. What's weird is that the older I get, the less tolerance I have for all the ragweed, etc.

I have minor allergies now - when I was a kid and into my 40s I had them big time, like going to allergists and taking all kinds of medication, and then, it all eased up - a bizarre but welcome turn of events.

This is a very well written poem. I love how you personified the dandelion and other parts of nature. Again, you made something that seems simple seem anything but.

As much as I despise dandelions and the ruckus they cause in my yard in the early summer, I simply loved your poem about the blue dandelion and how you used the descending line, "this dandelion, feeling blue".
Very calming read as it leads to the summers breeze spreading its seeds, to the sun and rain comforting it, creating a family.
Nicely done. John

John, thank you so much, even though you have an unreasonably hostile attitude toward my favorite flower. LOL :-) Brooke

Comment from LoannaLois
The repeated line you chose was brilliant in its interest and in its last word.,blue. You have such a knack to know what will resonate. I just loved this, and I know how much thought this took to pay due justice. Truly a six.

The quatrain part of this goes over my head but I do enjoy the rhythm of this style of poetry and I love dandelions. I sure wouldn't want one to be lonely. God loves you and so do I,

Comment from Dorothy Farrell
Another good quatern written with good rhyme, rhyme and all the necessary rules followed perfectly. The content is good - cleverly includes the life cycle of the dandelion and all that's necessary to successfully propagate. Good read. Regards Dorothy

Your sliding line fits so very comfortably into its new niche in each verse, and that is the art of the form. The dandelion is such a joyful flower that it is difficult to imagine it feeling blue. Sometimes that, too, is the case with people.
