Dandelions are God's first flower; at least that is what I told my children when they were little. They remind me of bubbles; you blow and they produce an abundance of wonder.

Another fine display of the form Gypsy.
The visual aspect of it equally impressive. The mind's eye working well here.
Always a pleasure to read these now, which has grown on me over time.
My best wishes.
Have a good week.

You have brought back a memory. I wished on the white puff as a
child and watched it blow in the wind. I like the alliteration and the
imagery you have painted with your poetic words.

You managed to create a 'floaty' feeling in this poem. The dramatic black highlight the fragility of the dandelion picture. The imagery of wishes floating, riding on puffs of wind...memorable and lovely:)

I am a dandelion fanatic and this is one of the best poems I have read about them. I like the feel in your words of the dandelion floating along, a vivid picture of nature that brings forth good feelings.

Well done on this. Great picture and description of a memory from childhood - blowing on the dandelion fluff and watching it carry our wishes who knows where.

Hello Gypsy Blue Rose,
In the light of Author Note, it's a nice piece of poetry as 'Spring Haiku' meeting the desired norms, having impressive phraseology, and beautifully depicting its theme.
Picture enhances depth and beauty of the poem.
BEST OF LUCK in the contest.

Comment from Ken Weene
Nice. That the first and third lines themselves make a delightful image adds to my delight. Not sure the articles are needed and since the goal is balancing sound units not syllables, I think getting rid of them might enhance this piece.

You had me at dandelion...they are one of nature's most beautiful gifts and so underrated! The words and the artwork are beautiful, as always! It definitely makes me yearn for Spring, and it's not even Winter yet...
