Bright and Spritly

Along the road on my way
I looked up, walking away
Boughs of yellow flowers so bright
They were a heavenly sight
Hanging , from the lined trees
With zooming around of bees
The passing cars threw fumes
Left unaffected seemed the blooms
I'd forgotten about this flower
To ignite the spirit it has the power
Some trees were plump and  short
The others simply shot
If these Wordsworth had seen
Before 'Daffodils' another poem would have been
These trees have lesser leaves
Through the boughs the sunlight sieves
These light boughs are devoid of fragrance
But stateliness is of great eminence
Through these I'd drive again and again
Although I may seem insane
I just adore them
I always try  to bring home one  bough on a stem
But sometimes  I let them be
As they are so stately.

I like it, the imagery is powerful, makes me think.
