   • Thank you 😉 The dandelions have so much vigour

2. Plants are so tenacious aren’t they! Ambitious little weeds! This is one of your best,Bjorn!

   • Thank you. 🙂

3. Great job.. and beautiful imagery.

13. I love thinking of how sturdy and unrelenting a dandelion can be even when they bend. They hang on, they look pretty.

    I loved the flow of this poem.

14. never ever thought of weeds as ambitious, but now that you’ve presented the facts….well…
