This week’s Poetry Friday entry are the terrific poems from yesterday photopoetry of 15 words or less. Here was the picture:
And here are the poems!
Lolipop
of lint and life
waits for wind
to disseminate
procreation.
~~~ Diane M. Davis
Shared Desire
Gray hair, untamed,
just like mine.
We hope for a breeze
at the clothesline.
~~~ Cindy Breedlove
This is proof–
even a flower
can have
a bad hair day.
~~~ Cynthia Cotten
I
am
so
beautiful.
Why do you
revile me,
repulse me?
~~~ mlyearofreading
A DANDY PLAN
She fastens
her children
to parachutes
preparing them
for an inconspicuous
invasion of
cultivated lands.
~~~ Diane Mayr
Helen meant to blow,
but instead she inhaled.
Then she spat and coughed.
~~~ jennifer-d-g
Sunships of wonder
waiting to ride
the breeze,
to create their own worlds.
~~~ Kathy Q.
wordsrmylife
together we grew
then the winds came
scattering us afar
it’s time
to bloom apart.
~~~ melissa
Wishing to be 5 yrs old again.
With wisdom
to know how great 5 is.
~poof~
~~~ Amanda
Wish
A hundred tiny wisps of hope
Waiting to be sent into the world.
~~~ Sue Douglass Fliess
Just one big blow
Fly away fairies
Bring back wishes
of hope,
happiness and love
~~~ Anne Mckenna
Sphinx Sperm?
Soft, white and tiny
dandelion seeds twirl gently on
a mythical breeze.
~~~ John Mutford

Great poems! Especially that very first one–lollipop of lint and life–love that! I’m doing one for my daily poem even though I’m past deadline. So nice to do it just for the fun of it!

Perfect lawn dies
in dandelion supernova–
explosion of soft ruin

Happy almost birthday!
I think dandelions are just dandy.

I have lost my smile,
but don’t worry.
The dandelion has it.
