I love it! Yes, those dandelion seed heads are so inviting - almost asking us to blow them but as you say, the wishes fall flat. And Mother Earth readily proliferates those wishes into more dandelions! Loved your crescendo poem!

I love dandelions and am always happy to come across a poem about them. Your words capture the essence of the dandelion. "They blithely entreat us to blow their fluff" is a creative line that paints a picture of one blowing the fluff apart and making a wish. Excellent nature poem with a feel of magic to it.

I have a saying hung up on my computer. 'When you look at a field of dandelions, you can see either a field of weeds or a field of wishes.' I happen to choose the field of wishes. LOL Thank you for sharing this clut entry with us. I enjoyed reading.

What a captivating poem. You set a brightly covered stage with the dancing yellow flowers and the puffy magic seed that can carry our wishes with them. Sadly, out wishes fall. Beautiful and poignant. Gretchen

I like your poem. My grandkids always like to blow them and make a wish. I wrote a small poem on them
When I first joined story. Your poem is bright and cheery. The pictures of the dandelions is a good choice for the poem. Very good job.

I won't double-check to see if you dotted your i's and crossed your t's as it seems to be in order to be a Crescendo poem. I think I entered one as well but not about flowers. Well done.

This is good writing the the effect of the crescendo is slightly lost because the text is a point or two too large. This makes your poem drop over onto two lines in a couple of places and is losing the effect of building up down the page.

A beautifully written free form poem Santha, you've written a marvellous word, talking about the symbolic flight of the dandelion seeds clothed in a very lightly conceived airborne fluffy, feathery covering that flies the seeds to their destination. Beautifully written My friend, blessings Roy

Very much enjoyed, Santha, both the form and your message.
And how I love dandelions!
Going to make a picture of a lion with my grandson using dandelions as the lion's mane! Great fun!

Thank you for sharing!
