Dandelions

With the dawn of spring, bring many things,

Green , blue and yellow too.

See them everywhere as dots of sunshine,

showcased in fields of green.

Wanted or unwanted they care not where they sprout,

Deeply embedded, they stand their ground.

Being the nuisance to  gardeners around.

Armed with picks and piercing tools,

Intent on fully removing the yellow blooms.

With satisfaction, the job appears to be done ,

When in a few days, find, they still abound.

Dandelions, dandelions what can we do?

But to find some productivity of you!  

Pick  young green leaves nice and fresh,

Making salads that taste the best.

Brew a tea that is strong and zest,

Capture vitamins and healing bless.

Oh, if only  all will agree what a wonder plant

The dandelion can be!
