## dandelions

A weed, sunshine yellow\
A weed, make a wish\
How can something unwanted provide such bliss?

In Spring, she arrives\
In Spring, tall and proud\
Upon this gem we've all avowed

The fairies, growing within\
The fairies, scattered free\
Off into the world to hear further plea

Among others, smiling gently\
Among others, overlooked\
Owner of the land has removal booked

## daffodils

A noise that disturbed him from his slumber\
He peered out the window to see her there\
That skirt a perfect match in his garden\
Yellow falling seamless with his flowers

He ran out to meet her, to claim her his\
But with his approach the illusion fell\
The colour's a tint green he told himself\
He could feel she was not what he fell for

Back to his solitude he retreated\
Glancing by chance at his prize daffodil\
Something about its beauty entranced him\
And then he realised where his heart lied

The days moved on, but he stayed fixated\
It pained him they couldn’t be together\
He grieved his creation as not feeling\
It will never know nor return his love

After far too much deliberation\
He was struck with the only solution\
In his garden he dug under the roots\
There he lay down pulling the dirt over

That woman visited many more times\
She noted the daffodils had grown great\
Becoming more beautiful and vibrant\
Yet she felt that something was not quite right

While flowers definitely are lovely\
She misses the man that tended to them\
Daffodils no matter how beautiful\
She would not have traded his company for
