Chasing Golden Pollen

Hop, pop! I wiggled out of my cozy wicker cubby into the crisp morning lobby air. Right across the polished stone floor, a bright yellow dandelion bloom was caught against the brass weatherstrip of the outer door! I scampered straight over, planted my webbed corner feet on the cool threshold, and gave the stem a playful poke. Poof! A cloud of fuzzy white seed parachutes burst into the air, twirling like tiny umbrellas! One fluffy tuft landed right on top of my belly screen, tickling my digital pond into frantic, swirling turquoise waves as it spun in the gentle morning breeze.
