To A Dandelion (poem) by Peter Paton on AuthorsDen

Splendid, Peter! I so agree...here in the States, dandelion is considered a weed indeed and killed with chemicals...something I abhor. I love your poem and am sending you cyber dandelion wine to celebrate your spirit.

A marvelous ode to one of earth's far too many unappreciated life forms. I love gazing at a spring meadow chock full of these wondrous beauties. I've also been known to make a little dandelion wine!

Dear Peter, I'm so happy to read this glowing ode to the beautiful dandelion - while basking in their view, as they dapple the meadows beyond my window. In flower essence therapy, dandelion is used to ease muscular tension and pain. Our horses and their humans here... :0)... are grateful beneficiaries of its healing properties - and of so many more generous gifts of nature, not always obvious and sometimes misunderstood. Thank you for sharing this glorious view!
Love&Light*

This is a medicinal weed...steeped into a tea is nourishing and healthy. I recall picking the Dandelions and placing one under the chin of siblings and friends. If a yellow shadow showed up it meant the person loved butter. Dandelions are definitely part of folk culture and a great choice for you to write about.
Thanks Peter!
