Dandelion

a pretty yellow flower

a small version of the sun

it basks in the warm summer breeze

until the day is done

chatting with the ladybugs,

and a very curious bee

it seems there is more to this flower

than what the eye can see

they spread across the grass

and steal the water from the reeds

it turns out these pretty flowers

are nothing but wicked weeds

yet we blow their seeds to make wishes

which allow them to grow and grow

since if they are so beautiful

why would we want them to go?
