wind blows gently
air current rises
tiny ballerinas take flight
dancing gracefully in the sky
fluffy white tutu's twirling
tiny brown slippers suspended
off they go
to distances unknown

What a great take on dandelions
They are beautiful, aren't they... as are your words and images... Well done.

True to prompt
Lovely visions to enhance the pic prompt. Good imagery of movement, color and imaginative style is very pleasant. Excellent write.

I like this poem. It's short and sweet for certain, a simple take on a nice photo. Your description of the dandelion and the comparison to it being a "tiny ballerina" is a nice metaphor! I also like the ending, how you left it open for them to go anywhere... Overall, good job! Good luck!
