For dVerse Poets Pub where Lisa is our hostess today.

Pen us a poem of precisely 44 words (not counting the title), including some form of the word puff.

Q 251 Light Burst of Air

Dandelion Wishes

One gentle puff sent a thousand wishes drifting beyond my reach.
Some settled in quiet hearts,
others danced with summer winds.
I stopped chasing outcomes,
trusting every fragile seed
would find the soil
meant to welcome hope with patient faith at last always blooming.

    Maggie awesome poem! I really like the movement in this, from trying to hold onto wishes to learning to release them. The dandelion becomes a beautiful metaphor for surrender, trust, and the quiet places where hope takes root.

    Dandelion puffs are really not very fragile I think

      Perhaps that’s why I chose them. They appear fragile, yet they’re surprisingly resilient and travel farther than many stronger things. 🌼

    Maggie, I love how your dandelion seeds show that letting go can be an act of hope, as each wish finds a place to grow.
