Dandilions

Nox 2009 (California)

March 22 
Free verse
Dandelions
So pretty, bright yellow with green stems
It's just a weed
Dandelions
I entrusted with my secrets
It's just a weed
Dandelions
The prettiest flower of all
It's just a weed
Now I'm an adult still I entrust my secrets to those flowers, and now I'm just like dandelions
Just a weed
Just an imperfect flower
I'm just a weed

About this poem

This poem is about how when I was a kid I was always told the my favorite flower was just a weed and when I grow up I realised I was just like my flower. My weed.
