The Dandelions Were Listening Comments

Wow, this is wonderful. What a poignant beginning and radiant close.

Hey Mary, this poem is definately gonna become one of my favourites. It is fab. Keep those finger strickin' the keyboard in the great way that they do. All the best and keep writing buzzin' poems. Check mine out if you fancy. Love Becky! !

Sculpted to perfection.This is worth a more meaningful comment than I feel able to do.Love Duncan

Just heard Max Reif perfrom it. This one goes into my favorites. Good job! Sincerement R.

Excellent one, Mary. I read Jefferson Carter's comments and think he helped you tighten this up wonderfully - more terse, more energy in each word.. Dandelions aren't any good for 'he loves me, he loves me not' (too many petals) but they work well for 'momma had a baby and her head popped off'... in this case, apparently revealing a poetry treasurehouse! -chuck

This is a wonderful poem, Mary. It has a wonderful flow and a strong narrative line. It's the best poem I've read by you.

You are a 'smashing' person Mary. What a lovely write this is, and so beautifully said. Gave a bit of a 'sniff' if you know what I mean, and possibly a tear in the corner of the eye. Brilliant one from you as always. Love Ernestine XXX

Mary, I like the ending of your poem very much. j.

A lovely poem, Mary. It speaks of wishes fulfilled and the realization years later that they were. Fine lines, fine images. Well done. All the best, Hugh

to a stupid flower? great line, great poem............

Another insightful and very human piece Mary. Most humbling.

A lovely poem, all the best, Mary! !

Mary...this is the best poem you've written that I've read. Just the fact that it doesn't rhyme is a huge plus. The poem depends on a poetic situation and it flows through time nicely. It's nice to see someone actually get better around here.

One of your best Mary. All they ever did was make me sneeze. Fortunately I met a young lady called gesundhite and we had a bunch of bless yous.lol Rusty
