Throwback Thursday: ‘Taraxacum officinale’ by Mary H Auerbach Rykov

A Growing Season

It’s the little things that offer us the promise of return, in ‘Taraxacum officinale’ by Mary H Auerbach Rykov.

This gentle poem appears in Issue 9, Winter 2016, and we are delighted to share it with you here.

Taraxacum officinale

Golden blooms
sporting on her
windowsill
in the chill
of winter
improvise
in the key
of February
