Excellent

I'm guessing you pronounce dandelion in 3 syllables - I would make it four.

Nevertheless it is a great image of those pesky little paratroopers - hard to see them as warlike, though!

Good luck in the contest.

I was in a sense, making something powerful out of something innocent, kiwi jenny. Thank you.

Excellent

That's an interesting take that goes beyond the two conflicting parties of the war. Beyond their power, it's the WIND (of religion, power, suspicion, fear) that distributes the artifacts of war.

Great poem, righter20.

Comment from skye

Good

The wind starts a war
Dandelion paratroopers
Invade the cornfield

You have eight syllables on the second line.
Excellent imagery and use of war metaphor coupled with my favorite yellow blooms.
Well done.

The fault lies in my pronunciation of lion, skype. Wrongly, I suppose, I say lion like "line."
