Daffodils

For Ellie Hoovs' Unofficial Wonderland Poetry Prompts Challenge Day 10

By Rachel DeemingPublished about a year ago • 1 min read

I wander'd lonely as a cloud

A famous poet wrote.

I'm not a cloud though I like to wander

And encounter armies of daffodils.

Clustered close in verges green

Waving frantically to be seen

Lifting spirits with a trumpet blare

Yellow, gleeful, standing there.

Is there a more glorious sight

Than daffodils and their golden light?

Proud nation perched towards the west,

A land of harp and poets ancient

Chose daffodils as their emblem flower

Because, I think, we all love to sing.
