A Dandelion Stem

 A poem by Mediana Stan, illustrated by Liviu Boar, translated by Rafael Manory

 
Mom, look at me how I dress:
A dress of poppy to impress!

Up on my pink arms
I put two dandelions for charms:

Two dandelions, white, bouffant
Like the s’eeves of a princess, puffed out.
 
I will be able to fly ahead
Up above the flowers' woven bed...

So dressed, there in the field I am 
A golden dandelion stem!
