Thank you, Anni. Maybe I'm a masochist because I do like making things difficult for myself. I considered rhyming each line as well, but that was a bridge too far. Perhaps next time...
Dandelion smiles upon the lawn,
one yellow face amongst them all,
that cheerful horde that splits the green
to ruin the gardener’s monocultural aim
and, weeded out, returns again,
to rise once more defiantly from root so deep
to dig it out would ruin the pampered grass
and leave the careful surface pitted like the moon.
