Daffodil

I’m a lovely daffodil, yellow like the sun.
See me in my garden spot; I’m the mellow one.
Nearby are my tulip friends; how I love their hues.
But a bright blue crocus has turned into my muse.

In the breeze when all we blooms tend to brightly sway,
I keep hoping that blue crocus wants to look my way.
Hummingbirds and butterflies are great to see around.
There must be a hive somewhere. Bees surely do abound!

There’s this little chipmunk. Such fun antics he plays,
but it’s never long enough that cute critter stays.
Since I’m whimsical, Daffy you may call me.
I’m being visited right now by a honeybee!

A sweet write, delightful to read this evening ... Now you've got me wondering if the flowers notice each other and have conversations when we're not looking :)

This is such a delightful read dear Andrea. I love your personification of the daffodil. Your artistic words have really brought it to life with all its vivid spring imagery and its name Daffy. So cute! The reader gets drawn into the garden with the flower and all the activities taken place. Nature at its best. Loved it! Good luck in the contest :)

I love your "Daffodil" write/picture. As a young child we had Daffodils lining both sides of the driveway. Very Pretty just like this write. I always called them buttercups. "Good Luck" Look like we both did a flowers. Have a wonderful day/weekend writing away.................

Cute...there are some places with daffodil festivals. They display hundreds of different varieties. Amazing flowers they are. Nice that they come back each year.

Daffodils symbolize hope and new beginnings and I absolutely love that you chose that for your personification, as I believe and feel you are strong, and i love the way you’ve written this personification especially “ Nearby are my tulip friends; how I love their hues. But a bright blue crocus has turned into my muse.” so beautiful and soulful! Pleasure reading this, BOL
