Notes About The Poem

written 9/9/23

Daffodil

Damsels in golden frocks,
Dance in warm Spring breezes.
Distinctive trumpet blooms
Dazzle the eyes after
Dreary Winter's grey gloom.
Delightful in bouquets,
Dangerous if eaten.

There's an air of serenity dancing through the images you have created with your words Kim and then the beauty of these flowers is turned on its head by the kicker of the last line. Wise words though - they are quite toxic, particularly the bulb. Cheers - Gary

Lovely Pleiades, Kim. Do I recollect that you used to have contests with Pleiades?

Spectacular Pleiades with a good message Kim. Just because a thing has beauty, it does not mean it is not dangerous.

Thank you, Jerry! I was surprised to find out that daffodils are toxic to humans and animals if ingested. Not that I was interested in eating one! LOL
