I’m a leaf stirring on the edge of the lawn

I’m a flower straining for light

I’m wild, I’m free

I’m dandelion-seeding

Kitten in flight.

 

Inspired by Sunday Writing Essentials and The Reckoning

I like that last line for the "parachute" of a dandelion seed, Sheila. Well done.

I'm not a fan of dandelions, but I like the overall effect.

This imagery is splendid and lovely.

Very charming. Delightful images. The rhyme of "flight" with "light" gives the ending a sense of repose. Thank you!
