PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

You know, it's said that if you

make a wish and blow all

of the petals off of a dandelion

in a breath, your wish will come true.



So every time I saw a dandelion I

blew as hard as I could. Almost always,

all the petals went heavenward

with my hopes attached to each of them.



But I have grown disappointed and stopped,

telling myself that I should

have known better. No more wishing

on dandelions for me.



Until today, when in my path

stands a huge white fluffy bloom

calling out for my wish. I take a breath,

because you never really know.
