You creep in my yard.
A persistent weed that clings –
tenacious stalker.

Brilliant words, Dear Poem, but I must add…some person’s weeds are another’s flower and dandelions are very useful for wildlife, both the early nectar and the seeds are used and relied upon by many creatures. The flower is in action most of the year and not many are…end of lecture!! xx

I agree — dandelions are often marginalized. Many species of insects (or spiders) use the dandelion for a variety of purposes, especially bees and other winged entities.

Thank you! We actually have an area in our yard where we allow Dandelions to grow. Our two rabbits love them.

Lovely haiku! I like how you’ve played with the idea of dandelions being infectious to humans — reminds me of the movie, The Happening.
