And somehow they always
Find my back yard and front lawn
To rest for a season

LOL. They come from MY backyard, Tab! It was watching them that inspired the Haiku!

Ah, I love them, they have such sunny faces and delight children. I will have to post my dandilion poem. Yes I know they are a weed. But I still like them.

Thanks for your comments.
Jennine,
A weed is just a plant in the wrong place! Even what we consider as a weed has its beauty.

Maywood,
I have heard that dandelion leaves are good for eating and also medicinal.
It doesn't take much of a breeze to blow the seeds that are ready away from the stalk. When I was a kid, we used to pick the heads and blow them.

Maywood got in before me. I was going to say 'great in salads'. Dandelions are good mothers. They allow their children to fly free. Nice one, Johnny. Moya

Interesting observance. I suppose when the lawn is mowed they are torn. I'm with Maywood and Kyra. Dandelions are so good for you. Nice Haiku.

Interesting, you published this a while ago, and here I am reading it now...in the midst of dandylion season. :)

Leah,
I have been in a murderous mood and have sprayed my lawn with a selective herbicide to kill them all. I now have to wait three to four weeks to see if I have destroyed them all. ha ha...heehee hahaaa.
