"The dandelion's pallid tube
Astonishes the grass,
And winter instantly becomes
An infinite alas."
- Emily Dickinson -
I'm once more responding to @jayna's 50 word challenge...
This time, with a 50 word bit of ephemeral fantasy, a dollop of poetic fiction.
NOTE: Please visit @jayna's 50 word story writing challenge here for the background of what drew this particular work of fiction out of me.
By the way, there were just too many beautifully appropriate images to choose from for this piece... I so appreciate the photographers who have shared them!
And, thank you again, Jayna!

How powerful is your imagination?
Could you possibly imagine yourself as a sentient dandelion seed?
Prepare your mind...

Blowing Amid the Gloaming
by Duncan Cary Palmer
Blowing amid the gloaming,
demonstrating that freedom is king,
we dandelion seeds come soaring,
swirling on windborne wings.
Tiny, fleecy prophets,
emerging like magic in spring,
our bright yellow spawn
gaily decorate lawns,
springing up in the dawns,
brewing wine for the fauns.
What joy to be free, living things!
Bright yellow spawn gaily decorate lawns...
