How About A Happy Quiet Reflection For This Morning?
Our neighbor is a fickle fellow,
with his yard landscaped every two weeks.
He complains about the paper planes
that land on his porch, get caught in his bushes,
and sneers at the dandelion seed
always blown onto his grass.
This week he is on vacation,
somewhere in India;
booked it in advance to get the best hotel.
I wonder which one of the wishes
that sit on his lawn
represents his happy flight,
or the desire to see the world.

Stop and smell the roses ..
too bad some people do not get the pleasure from small things and live such bitter shriveled existences.. What is money and power if you have no substance…
Fly a paper plane to me any time and I will blow dandelion seeds with your kids.. I want to be alive.. not a shell

I enjoyed this, the title is perfect for the content!!! I kind of wish that there was more because I feel the story isnt complete. I kind of like I was reading a preview in some sort of advertisement or something… Anyway I like it…
Can you be a doll and offer me some advice??? Its a long poem but its from the heart. I think if you read it, you will feel my pain… Please be patient and read this and offer advice!http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;…
While he is gone, tape a copy of C.S.Scotkin’s dandelion poem on his door. Or, better yet, paper airplane it to him upon his return.
So I assume the paper planes inspired him to fly….Blessings Yahoo
While he is gone, you should get some Roundup and spray dirty words into his grass!
And now I’m stuck in Ponderland…….
