Dandelone
A fuzzy buzzing bumbling bee;
No stinger, a singer humming a perfect C.
Spotting a prize, he dives, through pecan canopy,
Cloying smell of cherry tree, holding space in harmony.
Climbing vines he finds herbs of all size and kind,
Along golden beet roads washed in sunshine.
'Round roots and shoots and shrooms he flies.
Holding hover over groundcover; finally, time to dine.
Alighting on his prize:
A lone dandelion.
