FLOWER WEED Bonnie Nielson Dahlsrud P.O. Box 195 Salina, UT 84654 Professional Division Honorable Mention Poetry Dandelion flower in morning gold parades with breezes, while chubby hands hold her proud and high. And young girls' voices wonder why she isn't sold with roses. Her peppered frills are child's perfumes and more than spiced enough for sneezes„ Soft ruffles pour from liquid stems and fashion pleats with jagged hems that new buds tore while dancing. Dandelion weed in scorched, drab brown bows her tired mane to shed her gown, while shovels rip her frazzled skirt from lifeless hip and crush her down, no encore. Teenage girls now understand why the rose, pink but unashamed, models sheer clothes of frosted dew, costing more than the cheap, yellowed hue that gloved hands chose to strangle. Source: Author's recollection of the dandelions that she gathered as a child from Ephraim's ditchbanks, lawns, and fields, and her confusion as to why these "flowers" were considered weeds„ 28
This poem is based on a real person whom I knew in Spring City. THE COUNTRY DRUGGIST Jewel King Larsen 465 South 100 East St. George, UT 84770 Professional Division Honorable Mention Poetry There was a drugstore in our town-- A wondrous nook. I loved to stand for hours Just to get a closer look At the druggist — an amazing man-- Who made Sundaes, splits and pills; Pulled teeth, lanced boils and treated all Our illnesses and spills. He had a walrus mustache, Plus an elegant goatee — His head was bare and shiny— Not a hair that you could see0 He wore enormous glasses Riding on a bulbous nose With a face both blithe and genial And glowing like a rose. I sometimes had a penny, That I spent inside his store, To him a penny's worth of goodies Meant a whole handful — or more. Let us share a thought for those druggists of old, Who care for all folks in need; Let's remember their skill, their care, their love They were heroes without armor and steed. 29
