First time writing an Elfchen poem (see the instructions below). This form was suggested by Sadje. She asked us to write one poem and another one opposing the first one.
Dandelions are my favourite wildflower, so the first poem is really what I meant about them. However, I know some people that really hate them.
An elevenie (German: elfchen) is a short poem with a given pattern. It contains eleven words which are arranged in a specified order over five rows. Each row has a requirement that can vary.

Wow, Elizabeth! I had no idea it was considered a weed!
You’ve educated me (I Googled this after reading your poem)!
And such a lovely poem to boot!
