What a perfect picture to go with your poem of what a perfect poem to go with that picture. My husband always said a weed was a flower out of place. Very nice.

Comment from Rubylou
I really enjoyed reading your poem. The rhyme and quatrains make the words come alive.
It made me appreciate the beauty of the dandelion and the lessons of steadfastness and perseverance.
"...humbly placed beside the road--" just made me think of all the beauty we take for granted and goes unnoticed;
time to slow down and pay attention.

Lovely, Brooke! I wonder if you took the picture and then wrote the poem about that picture.
Your poem follows the rules very nicely. What a fun rhyme scheme. You've done a great job with your perfect rhyme, and the enjambment adds to a very nice flow.
Best of luck in the contest! Alana

Comment from Linda England Bonam
Very beautiful poem, Brooke. For that is where the seed was blown, for sure. (And if you have neighbors with lots of dandelions theirs will seed in your flower garden every time, just sayin')

Comment from RGstar
Nicely written,Brooke.
The image you used is perfect for its description.
The dandelion, for me, is the most resilient of its kind. I wrote a poem called Maskrosbarn'
Maskrosbarn is Swedish for the Dandelion. it actually means:
Mask = worm
Ros= rose
barn= child
All in all means .. Dandelion child.
A dandelion child mirrors the dandelion. Difficult childhood, much adversity up to the point of not living , but, against all odds, against all winds, against all that is placed in its way...the child mKe it through and flourishes in the end. Such is the dandelion. It grows through cement if it must. It is unstoppable, and a sign of courage for many.
Bravo.
Best wishes,
RGstar

Comment from LoannaLois
Brooke, this is so much more than a dandelion's tale. The underpinnings are important and wonderfully expressed. You are so good at weaving the story. Needs six.

Comment from Dibul
Ah, the dandelions again! I love this form that comes from one of my favorites of Robert Frost. Your poem follows the rules of the contest perfectly. The rhymes and the meter are spot on. The picture and colors take the poem to a different level altogether. A perfect lyrical story of a little dandelion!
Good luck in the contest, Brooke!
