What is a Weed?
A Haiku Trio
Dandelions bloom
Wherever nature plants them;
Random or by plan.
Natural breath blows
Across them as they dry out,
Spreading all their seeds.
Smiling at the sun,
Yellow springs up everywhere.
Who defines a weed?

Post a CommentGreat and interesting article.
My... and my gardens philology exactly, love it David:0)
In Vermont, there's fields and fields of yellow dandelions and they're beautiful.
I love, love, love dandelions and can recite a poem about them that my mother read to me as a child! I, too, survived the 60s!
The USDA classifies plants as weeds, and apparently such well-known wildflowers as dandelions and buttercups are classified as invasive weeds. Very enjoyable poem, David, thanks!
And there are so good for you . You can eat them, make Dandelion Tea and even coffee out of their roots. They clean your kidneys and liver. They are excellent. I always try to find some.
Although a nuisance to some, I've always found a large spread of their yellow flowers to be beautiful.
Nice trio. I like dandelions. They're really cheerful in both forms. :)
Kinda like the dandelions. Nice!
Some weeds are beautiful, others, not so much. Great job on this trio!
