Wishing on Dandelions

 

Picking a dandelion

On a warm summer night

Holding it up

Into the moon light

 

When bad days have taken a toll

Pick a dandelion,

Make a silent wish,

And seal it with a gentle kiss of air

 

One by one

 The seeds will fly

Right on up

Into the night sky

 

Away flies all your worries

Your fears

Your nervousness

It will all subside

 

All thanks to

That magical act

Of seeing dandelions fly

 

On a warm summer night

When you’re done with being beat up

Don’t give up

 

All you have to do

Is make a wish

On a dandelion

Author's Note

so i made this poem for two reasons
1) I LOVE dandelions
2) my history teacher is handing out extra credit for poems

So, you write poems, too, and this is a fine one. I hope your teacher gives it high marks---I do.
