The Conscientious Gardener

Lighthouse Dandelions by Jamie Wyeth 
  

A sea of dandelion starfish
 crawl on blades of green glass
and shine before the crisp silver blade
of the conscientious gardener.



- Gerry, Strummed Words

... perhaps this conscientious gardener could leave the dandelions a bit longer?
Lovely writing.

Excellent poem with an ambiguous ending -- what is the gardener going to DO with his silver blades?

Oh no, I sense a dandelion hater here. Nice poem, though.
