Dandelion

A Villanelle On The Transformation Of The Dandelion From Sun To Moon To Stars

The Life Of The Dandelion

Introduction

The 3 phases of a dandelion represent the sun, moon and stars. The yellow flower represents the sun, the white puff ball represents the moon and the dispersing seeds represent the stars. The name dandelion comes from French dent-de-lion, meaning "lion's tooth" because of the pointy shape of its leaves.

The main image is taken from here:

I thought that the dandelion's transitions deserved a poem. My daughter Juliet has a lovely cat called Dandelion.
