YWP Contest # 15 Twirl
Ruth Knox, Essex Junction, 12
Flowers laced in pollen
Danced freely in the wind
She follows their lead
Flecks of pollen flew in the air
Followed by a dandelions seed
Twirling in the air
The girl follows it,
Cupping her hands out
Watching as the dandelion seed dances across the sky
She slips past the rosebushes
Careful to avoid the thorns
To dance with the dandelion
It landed in a small patch of grass
And she lost the little seed
But it will grow
And she will dance again.
