Things Nearest.
Loving things nearest to hand
I must consider the Dandelion.
Mane of spun gold its open band
of seductive petals aroma aligns.
Facing the sun seduction attracts
passing insects intent on dining.
Sweetest bosom soft as blankets
releases allure of scented design.
Beating the clock, feelers fasten
on seeded food for feeding time.
Such clever self-spreading ranks
in my mind as a trait to admire.
Sensing this stylish sticky hand
of sweet- fingered artful invite
to nuzzle in pollen\'s magic land
flies then ignore dandelion guile.
Things nearest are often worth
more than indifferent glances.
