Nearest.
Loving things nearest to hand
I must consider the Dandelion.
Mane of spun gold opens bands
of allure as eye and aroma align.
Fired by sun seduction attracts
passing insects intent on dining.
Bosom exposed lightening action
releases droplets of scent- design.
Seeing the spread feelers fasten
on insect nectar for feeding time.
Such a clever self-spreading ranks
as first class intelligence to admire.
Sensing feast splay an unwrapped
tongue greedily laps at artful invite.
Pollen can sweeten hidden language
because flies ignore dandelion\'s guile.
Noteworthy successful at spreading
itself this little plant stirs the fancy.
Yet no poet unbent will catch Heaven
giving merely one indifferent glance.
