Hello readers, welcome to OCpoetry. This subreddit is a writing workshop community -- a place where poets of all skill levels can share, enjoy, and talk about each other's poetry. Every person who's shared, including the OP above, has given some feedback (those are the links in the post) and hopes to receive some in return (from you, the readers).

If you really enjoyed this poem and just want to drop a quick comment, to show some appreciation or give kudos, things like "great job!" or "made me cry", or "loved it" or "so relateable", please do. Everyone loves a compliment. Thanks for taking the time to read and enjoy.

If you want to share your own poem, you'll need to give this writer some detailed feedback. Good feedback explains from your point of view what it was like to read the poem, and then tries to explain how the poem made you feel like that. If you're not sure what that means, check out our feedback guide, or look through the comment sections of any other post here, or click the links to the author's feedback above. If you're not sure whether your comments are feedback, or you have any other questions, please send us a modmail.

I don’t really know what to take away from this. I like it because I share some white hair in common with it but there’s just not enough substance here for me to really draw anything from it. I mean I get it, maybe one love is ending and OP is looking forward to falling in love again??

although i can't exactly interpret it, i really like the visualisation shown by your poem, i love the analogy. i guess it wasn't your intention to make the reader understand the poems true gist, but this way i can create my own meaning. nice work!

Love the simplicity. The other comments seems to have trouble parsing the meaning— for me I thought the poem was about a rebirth/reincarnation or possibly just finding solace in ones progeny. Overall I thought it was an elegant execution of the message.
My only comment is a tiny nitpick. Cut the s from “seeds” you’re speaking generally about singular concepts. White hair, not white hairs, by the same logic dandelion seed not seeds. Alternatively you can do it the other way but I don’t like that option as much personally. It’d be white hairs like dandelion seeds fall …. Well done!
