Dandelions Foretell

Wind blows fallen leaves

Once buried by snow

Dandelions springing up among the dead leaves

Yellow dots all the lawns

Spring is almost here

*

They say spring has arrived

Trees are budding out

Flowers are blooming, color is everywhere

No more drab dull landscapes

Love birds are singing

*

What’s tickling my nostrils

Why do my eyes itch

Pollen, dust, and mold are floating sight unseen

Wait, what’s that white fluff stuff

Future dandelions
