WEEDS...(challenge?)
GIFTS OF SUNSHINE...
Who would dareΒ
To name thee weed
For are you notΒ
The loveliest gift
From mother naturesΒ
Seed...
And are you not
Nourished
By mother's own blood
Do you not grow
In her likeness
And love...
Do not your roots
Delve in magicalΒ
Realms
Where all unseen forces
CastΒ
Magical spells...
Is your flowerΒ
Not perfect
As you stand strong in light
In the brightest of
Yellow
The loveliest sight...
Who would dare
To name thee weed...

Wonderful format.Β
I remember paying some young people to be on,Β Dandelion Patroll, in my flower beds one spring season. The only job they had to do was, pull out all the dandelions. Our yard is over packed with them, but they are a beautiful and beneficial plant. However, I will keep them out of my beds, unless the flower bed is full of meadow plants, then they could stay.Β

I don't let them stay in mine either...just looking for a different perspective, though it has always fascinated me why some are 'weeds'Β
...is it because they are indifferent to humans and our need to control everything and they are rogue...doing their own thing?? I suspect we are as
hostile to animals and plants who don't 'fit' our ideas as we are to other humans...but it can't be denied it is a flower too...thanks love, sorry for ramble ???
My Dear Lady Marion,
Like I said before, the effort you put into every challenge, is a work of beauty.Β Your brilliant mind creates the most beautiful of metaphors.
For those "potheads" that love to get high on "weed", I challenge them with the intoxicating highs I get while reading your poems.
All my love,

Ha...I hadn't made the connection ...lol...although dandelions have their 'properties'..lol...thankyou ?
