Dandelion Seed


There's a dandelion seed

caught in your hair.

A fluffy wisp of white and grey

hanging there, 

suspended

in your frothy crown.

A shimmering seed held

like a star in a wiry halo 

made by the light.


Blow it away.


Perhaps you will,

if I tell you it's there.


Blow it away.


But it looks so beautiful

suspended there.

I won't tell you.

I'll just admire it's beauty

as it hangs

in your hair.


Blow it away.


No, I won't.

It will leave soon enough.

Best not to rush these things.

Who knows where

they will end up


after all.

  Getting Better Things can only get better, that’s what she always told her little sister. Things are getting better all the time even though it doesn’t feel that way. So eat it up! It’s important as Jane Eyre said, to keep in good health and not die. So eat it up. And save a little for the cat. https://thedrabble.wordpress.com/2022/01/12/getting-better/?fbclid=IwAR3hCtjd2q1CtdDOLr_RcCH2u-RtaPzjQSQ_ELWMN3kcpMaIxJRM_9u_z_o

A Fictional Account This story is fiction. Made up. Made up like a face. First the base, the foundation, then the shadows and highlights, the blushers and sparklers, the reds and the blues to add interest and shape. Then lines for emphasis. Black, thick night time black, outlining the fiction. So, there was a base for this fantasy. There was some foundation. Even a made up story has some links with reality. A spark from a dream, an inspiration from experience, mine, or yours,  or someone else’s. Something written, something sung. A word, a phrase, a line from someone’s life, their fantastic real life, or imaginings. becoming real in the telling, when the make up is removed and the secrets are revealed between the lines. http://www.lulu.com/…/true-…/paperback/product-23068717.html
