Tiger Lily and Dandelion
Tiger Lily and Dandelion
A Tiger Lily is like a wild animal;
ferocious in sight,
elegant in action
A Dandelion is like a tsunami;
amazing and intriguing,
but unwanted by everyone
A Tiger Lily is the movement of a master;
graceful, all-knowing, secure
A Dandelion is the movement of an apprentice;
skilled, yet unsure, on a leash
A Tiger Lily is the sound of a classical piece;
sweet, sleep-lulling, beautiful
A Dandelion is the sound of rock;
not fully mastered, loud, awakening
A Tiger Lily is the smell of a fresh orange;
a citrus feel that brightens your day
A Dandelion is the smell of fresh wood;
an acquired taste to most
A Tiger Lily has petals like a princess;
adored by everyone,
beautiful and proud
A Dandelion has petals like a peasant;
quietly wonderful,
but mostly unnoticed
A Tiger Lily breathes beauty and adoration
A Dandelion breathes childhood wonder
A Tiger Lily grows up to be nothing but a simple flower
A Dandelion grows up to be a wish for any lucky child that needs it
