Comment from Giddy Nielsen-Sweep
Your poem reminded me of an ad on our TV at present for some sort of grass cutter. The Wipper Snipper goes right up to the dandelion and then backs off, leaving it a solitary flower. Then this new super duper motor mower comes along and shears it off! I always feel a twinge of guilt because you have taught me to love dandelions! This poem is lovely, an unusual competition, Giddy

another great poem. I admire the way you find things to write about that are beautiful and bring happiness into the world. Little things that we may take for granted on a daily basis. I enjoyed reading this poem.

Comment from Titan Black
This is the first time, I ever read a
poem by you, where you chose to step outside
of the box (where children poems are concerned.).
Nevertheless, I loved this poem. For, you bought
the reader through zones. And I never knew
that one could make the Dandelion seem so
beautiful. And your poetic alliteration is what
made that happen. Keep writing.

Comment from stroncoso1
So lovely and so well written. I like how the dandelion traveled and finally rested "beside the road." It's a pretty poem and it flows so nicely from beginning to end. The rhyming words are meaningful to the message of the poem. Nice!

Exceptional poem, the rhyme gives wings to the descriptive lines that are able o give life to this poem that is as close to love as loving can, the gift of nature.

Comment from Niyuta
It is a well crafted poem with subliminal message and a metaphoric description. It flowed well except in the last stanza it got away from the first three which give a cohesive pattern of thoughts.
"They didn't mind the light she showed
was humbly placed beside the road-"
This did not come out as elegantly as the other three. A lovely poem to read and words move smoothly and message came through except the one quoted here.

Hey Brooke,
"A rose among the thorns,' is what my dad called the highly acclaimed - dandelion. I can't say as I am partial to them either. LOL.
Having said that, I liked your poem and presentation with the super photo.
Very nice. Good luck in the contest.
Cheers & Blessings

Comment from Ridley Williams
Hello Brooke,
I enjoyed this tale, of the power of being your own person. I appreciated the idea of standing out, by standing alone. I loved the third quatrain, with its thought of acknowledgement to individuality. Wonderful closing, that shows from such humble beginnings, comes notoriety.
Nice design and delivery...best wishes for your entry, Bill
