Don't Belittle Dandelion and Clover

Under my feet

grow weeds — dandelion and clover.

People don’t think highly of them.

They’re even labeled noxious.

But these plants bloom,

oozing nectar,

feeding the bees —

who then make honey.

Humans are willing to pay

a high price

for that bee-made magic.

So, dare not belittle anything.

You may consume the honey,

but you can’t give a

single drop of nectar

to the bees.

The dandelion and clover can —

remember that.

They are resilient.

They need little —

but bloom all over,

supporting the pollinators.

They don’t need any

bad name from humans

who know consumption the best

and grade flora and fauna

as per their benefits.
