  1. The visually evocative and thematically significant juxtaposition of L1 and Ls 2&3 makes this relationship haiku emotionally effective.

    Note: "the dandelion can be a symbol of life. ... The dandelion can also be associated with hope and dreams that come true. Because when children blow on dandelion fluff, they close their eyes and make a wish. When they see a dandelion head, they are reminded of all the things they have and will wish for."
