Return of the...

On this final day of Na/GloPoWriMo 2020, we are challenged not to write a farewell poem, but one of something that returns, as I will to this blog at the same time next year. Until then, happy writing and enjoy!

Dandelion

Even if I pull your roots

from the earth,

you'll appear elsewhere –

yellow heads gazing up

and soft white puffs 

bobbing on the breeze

I could pick your delicate seeds

before they spread,

but you anyway manage 

to appear elsewhere

So, I'll leave you be

to tell the time with each

blow of my breath,

to spread your joy

so you may appear elsewhere
