It's April, Poetry Month, Day Eleven!
The bookmark, on top of the picture above, came into the bookstore at the end of March. Often people do donate books and leave 'treasures' in them. This time, it became my own treasure and I knew what I would do for April's poetry, write about found treasures, perhaps find new places to look? Happy April!
Plus! Check each day for the added line to the Progressive Poem, created by Irene Latham, now hosted by Margaret Simon! The link is to the right!
In Defense
do not decry as lowly weeds
I beg to differ, take a look
their sunshine brings a spring-like vive
preparing food for the honeybee hive
and when they’re ready for goodbyes
they fill all happy children’s needs
to blow and blow away the seeds
then like parachutes rise away
to begin again another day

I love your 'defensive' poem, Linda. Dandelion puffs bring joy to many children. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, they do! Thanks, Bridget!
DeleteHooray for the dandelions!
ReplyDeleteYes! It really is a big deal, wishing everyone would let them go for the bees! Thanks!
