Weeds with attitude,
Dandelions get in your face,
roar, refuse to go meekly
like lambs quarters or milkweed.
Virulent as burdock,
rampant as bamboo,
edgy and green,
they trumpet their too loud,
crass yellow ego explosions.
Dandelions exclaim,
colonizing a lawn
like vegetative evangelicals,
their fervor and bravado
punctuated by white
wild strawberry blossoms
crouching obsequiously
at their feet.
