Pansy and Dandelion: Poem

 

Pansy and Dandelion

In a world full of pansies,

Being a dandelion

Means to be rebellion.

Good soil, warm sun,

Fresh water and a lot of love

That were sent and kept

Made the pansies proud

And pansies grow and survived.

Dandelion drew up

In the sandy crack

Of cement

And another city element

Full of poison and rock

That made dandelions strong

To grow in small spaces care

With absence of fear,

To bloom and survive

On the side.

Please, in the world

Of beautiful pansies

Do not lose your panties.

Try to be a wild dandelion

Like a brave lion

In the world of cultivated plants,

And the companionship of ants.
