“A sea of stars”

The Dandelion

by Vachel Lindsay

O dandelion, rich and haughty, King of village flowers! Each day is coronation time, You have no humble hours. I like to see you bring a troop To beat the blue-grass spears, To scorn the lawn-mower that would be Like fate’s triumphant shears. Your yellow heads are cut away, It seems your reign is o’er. By noon you raise a sea of stars More golden than before.

“What I need is the dandelion in the spring. The bright yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction. The promise that life can go on, no matter how bad our losses. That it can be good again.'

Suzanne Collins, Mockingjay
