Flying

 

 

a tiny fluff ball

recognisable by all

.

upon each little seed that flies

a thought or dream into the skies

.

is blown along by the softest breeze

or tell the time, it’s done with ease

.

to some a weed to others beauty

but put on earth to do it’s duty

.

known as dandelion

or tooth of a lion

    Wow, you sure did some research. I think you've named every possible answer for this. Great job. And love that the poem resembles one of those little fluff balls. Very nicely done.

    Thank you for entering

    I like the second stanza the best. Very true. I love plucking dandelions and blowing on them so hard they explode. =D
