The Poem of an Eighth-Grader (Free verse) by jessicazee

I feel sad as a dandelion losing yellowness fast a setting sun, an evening of a flower. Wispy grey hair is all that remains that disappear with a child's weakest breath. Blow and little dead dancers fall, scatter, but it's okay, little girl, the seeds will plant themselves.

thanks for the input...
that being said, I am 30 yrs old, and I found this poem in an 8th grade journal of mine. I know they don't lose color at night; I think the "fading" bit was meant as a metaphor to the death of the flower and gradual reinvention to seed pod. Adult to elder.
