Dandelion's Dance

Outstanding

"Dandelion's," "something I never watched/or cared for," "They're," and "as my flower floats" flooded me with memories of my lovely daughter when she was 5 years old.

very nice

comma in last line
always, then root it all in memories.
but line still seems awkward

clever title

always a fan

Agree with the comma after 'always' also I'm seeing this is as very young dancers and do they go up on points that soon before their feet are formed? Otherwise loved it

Proud Poppa

Tippy-toes is almost en pointe and, to cignets (and the adoring audience) it is. Love this heartfelt peice.

Interesting - many of us have assumed that these are very young girls dancing - but the poem doesn't say that. I found myself re-reading I'm amazed with the beauty
of something I've never watched/or ever cared for, but now I see them. That shouldn't work, because how can you be amazed by the beauty before you see them..but it works. Somehow. Very nice.

creative

Like the imagery a lot.

As I wrote on the forum,

a very lovely poem, Neo. Evocative of your experience, and an experience That I am at least a bit envious of.

WOW

Just...wow.
So beautiful.

Loved this. Emotion came through very well. As a rule if I say something good I will offer a suggestion just so you don't think I am patting you on the back mindlessly. If I could change anything it would be for you to allow me the reader to come to the realization that you were 'amazed' through your description of your reaction instead of labeling it.
