Away

Well, as I'm sure you know, it's been quite a while since I've posted.  These past several months have been packed.  This month I had planned to post a poem and a photo each day, because... April is National Poetry Month!  Obviously these plans were a bit too ambitious, but will try to post a few poems before the end of this month.  This poem is by Valerie Worth, from the book, All the Small Poems and Fourteen More...

Dandelion

Out of
Green space,
A sun:
Bright for
A day, burning
Away to
A husk, a 
Cratered moon:


Burst
In a week
To dust:
Seeding
The infinite
Lawn with 
Its starry
Smithereens.
