King of the Hill

[The Four-Eyed Cat]

He sits on a throne;
a green and mounded hill.
A velvety yellow crown
on a cat without teeth.
Waves are gently blown
on a carpet of grass
in a palace of nature.
As if a royal envoy
brings forth a message:
"summer has come,
King Dandelion."

A pleasant puzzle-poem.  Liked it.  And just try to make a regime change after King D takes over a lawn!  Lopping heads is useless.

Strictly speaking, lines 3 and 8 should have their initial "a" capitalized.   Maybe also the "k" leading the final line (a title).  Also, my spell checker wants "velvety" with only one tee.

Thanks duke! Let's hope not - rumor goes that dandelion is a terrible despot!
And whoops, let me correct that.

Hi, The four-eyed cat

Mercy me, you are certainly inspired
so many wonderful writes, just flowing.
Your poem reminded me of my brother.
The first time he introduced me to dandelion butter.
He was five years older and always got the better of me,
but not hurtful so much, just in a lovingly teasing sorta way.

Thank you.

I know that dandelions can cause a fuss.
And children like to spread their seeds.
At first when I read your poem I thought about the thistle
that sometimes springs up in the center of the patches of meadow we have here.
It sits high above all the other flowers, boasting its bright purple carpet.
I love how you call your wildflower, "King Dandelion".



have a blessed day!

Hi Janine! Thank you for the kind words!
The 'cat' is significant as a lion is a cat, too.
A dandelion? Well, thats just a cat without teeth!

Have a wonderful day, too!
