Very lovely. In all of nature nothing is really alone. Everything in life is connected, and aids each other in some way. This is a theory i have heard before. There. may be no way to prove it, but it feels rightThoughtful work.

You have this uncanny ability to take something as mundane as a simple dandelion and turn it into a beautiful story in a poem. The emotion and characterization of the dandelion made me care. Great poem.

Comment from Tomes Johnston
This is a thought-provoking poem that the author has created with this piece of writing. I often wonder whether plants have feelings. People think talking to them and playing soft music makes them grow better. Prince Charles is famous for proposing this himself. There must be something to it.

Hello Brooke,
Nice piece of poetry in the form of 'QUATERN' meeting the desired parameters and beautifully depicting summer season through 'This Dandelion, Feeling Blue'.
Smooth flow having lovely rhyming scheme and lively imagery.
Good alliteration as: seeds/spread; summer/sun.
The help on the part of breeze, sun and rain is worth noting.

Best wishes in the contest; loved your Quatern - Aw, shucks, poor little guy had no one to share his life and then...all the new friends he met and his life changed forever. That summer breeze was the best damn friend a dandelion could have - spread the joy and I loved your poem. Well done nana.

Comment from Acquired Taste
Brooke, this is lovely. I can't help but think - aren't we all dandelions at some point in our lives simply praying and waiting for our summer to arrive?
That's the beauty of poetry - many different perceptions from a single poem. Lovely. Jean

Wow, I've never heard the spreading of one's oats made to sound so romantic ;-). This has your usual quality, Brooke, but it's also a beautiful statement about interdependency and the power of teamwork.

Comment from Sanku
Quatern is a delightful form with its repeated lines lend a special charm to the theme .It is particularly suited for nature based themes and children's poems .This one is a gem about the loneliness of a dandelion.Summer sun and gentle rain with the help of breeze have succeeded in undoing the loneliness.There is a lesson to be learnt too. Nature is always there for our benefit.So we should love nature. thanks for posting it .

Comment from Giddy Nielsen-Sweep
Oh yes, a perfect example of a good quatern, most pleasant to read, Brooke. I often say this is my favourite form because I enjoy writing them but I've had no time lately, so I must write one soon. For the descending refrain to sound so natural takes skill, I doubt I could do as well, Giddy
