It is not used in bouquets,
nor in crowns,
It doesn't even have the right company-
Crowded between clovers,
birds of another color,
It seems out of space
It seems to have no place
But I beg to differ-
This lonely dandelion, mild as it be
does not serve as a weed
but as a determined difference
A shot of yellow,
from the monotone of green.
