I am like a dandelion
Once pretty now ugly
and pieces of me fly away.
Either way i am a weed.
Pretending to be a flower doesn't change that.
I'm not valued or thought highly by florists,
but strangely I've found one that likes me....
Now I'm holding onto my pieces, and growing backwards,
but I don't mind.....
I was a weed,
but a perfect weed,
At one time.......
You take me back to that time,
Bit by bit, piece by piece
Very slowly you steal me back from the wind and more.
Eventually I'll be a beautiful weed,
and everyone can admire your work,
Maybe then they would change their minds,
and won't think of me as a weed.
Then maybe, just maybe,
I would change my mind too.
And then I'd be a true flower.
Yoonoos is my good friend and I like the points he made about your technical merits here. This is a fine poem. For me, The fact that you had a specific purpose was important. The specific meaning is always much harder to do and I confess that I prefer crystal clarity, whereas others may not. I gave it an 8 and a recommendation to other readers to read it. All in all, it is a keeper as they say.
Very beautiful poem your are an extremely talented writer. I can't wait to read more of your work...

I have always liked dandelions- I think they're more beautiful than a daisy, or a daffodil- and I love this poem. Thanks Athena :)
I like it very much. It really portrays the feelings of a dandelion I think it symbolizes that anything can be beautiful.

Everything in nature has true value.What is one persons weed is another person's flower. Try to watch your I's ok use the capital form of the letter I not i except in a word.
