"Dandelion Insurgents" ~ A Haiku by Duncan Cary Palmer

"The tube uplifts a signal Bud
And then a shouting Flower, —
The Proclamation of the Suns
That sepulture is o'er."
- Emily Dickinson -

Just as floating dandelion seeds spawn new dandelions,

my recent entry in Jayna's 50 word story writing challenge has now spawned an offspring in the form of a haiku. To appreciate the context, please read "Blowing Amid the Gloaming" before reading the haiku below.

In this article, I also get to use some more of the beautifully appropriate dandelion images I found while preparing my earlier piece.

The thanks, this time,

goes to a new acquaintance, @vdux, for offering up this contest.

We're still playing the role of sentient dandelion seed.

So, open your mind once again, see the world from the viewpoint of a seed, swirling in transient vortices on the breeze...

Ready?

Dandelion Insurgents

They call us "Damn weeds!"
We chuckle, sail on by, and
sow canary blooms.
