Dandelion: a common small, bright yellow wild flower that has a lot of long, thin petals arranged in a circular pattern around a round centre.
Minotaurs trampled the woods searching for their foe. Bloodlust in their eyes. Then, a golden bud called the fiercest warrior, He watched her in awe. Flower and champion Promised everlasting love, Lingering as one. Dandelion turns Into seeds to touch the stars Where her love now lies.
Senryu 4 of 26 I´ll be doing this april to participate in #AtoZChallenge, #NaPoWriMo and #CampNaNoWriMo. Did you like it? Don´t be shy, leave a comment. I´d love if you add a blog hop so I can visit your post, too.
This is my Spanish haiku counterpart: D de Diente de león. Why, do you ask? My wonderful crew, #NaNoTribuMX started a micro stories challenge in Spanish this month. (We´re still voting the words we will use this month).
Did you know? Today is National Dandelion´s Day! Let´s spread the word. Any ideas to celebrate today?

The team’s theme of the April Blogging from A to Z Challenge this year is:
ACCOMPLISHING YOUR DREAMS, AND THE DUALITY OF 22; to see all cool bloggers participating this challenge, you can click on the Master List of #AtoZChallenge.
Today’s NaPoWriMo‘s prompt: to write a poem about a mythical person or creature doing something unusual.
If you are participating on these challenges, I wish you good luck and lots of success. 😀

Neither did I. I just stumbled upon it on a unicorn meme and I had to check if it was real.

Now I will think of this the next time I see a dandelion. That’s one thing my out of control yard doesn’t have.

Sweet! Curious, here at home when I took great care of my garden pots, I saw many of them trying to smother my other plants, plucking them out once and again. Now that I left them to their own device, no dandelion has grown back again.

The story began quite ominously and then ended so sweetly!

What a lovely ending, didn’t expect that! I didn’t know there was a dedicated day for dandelions but rightly so, they are amazing: they can live anywhere, they can be used as herbs (or as crowns), and they aren’t bad to look at either 🙂

Oh, yes, and I also heard that they could be great on tea or salads, I might try them one day.

Through the years I would always see dandelions in my parents’ yard in Tennessee. Of course I always blew the seeds when I’d see the flowers in that state. In my current small yard in Los Angeles I see maybe three dandelions a year.

I remember seeing lots of dandelions growing defiantly on the pavement, it was great fun to see my kids cutting and blowing them. And every now and then, they would spare a perfect one just for me. 💚
