PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

This poem is inspired by the fact that the word "dandelion" comes from the French "dent de lion" which means teeth of the lion.

2002 

This poem is for everyone that uses people.

Written in 2003 for high school creative writing class.  Poem was rejected by my instructor due to personal offense.  I did not attend a parochial school, but I may has well have.

Composed on April 4, 2002.

I just had to try this one more time! LOL  This form of writing intrigues me.  I love to paint a picture when I write- but to do it with each line fewer syllables than the line before, to me, is a real challenge.  Have you ever really thought of the sea?  We see, usually it's beauty always. Some of us refuse to see that with our neglect of its life and the carelesness of our ships to spill oil and dump rubbish ~ One day ~ What we all enjoy and take for granted, may not be there for us to behold. This form of writing is explained in my comments on Majestic Flight. ~Lesa~

Beware of flowery words

This is a true story.

I wrote this from another persons point of view. I was too young to go to a bar when I wrote this.
