Andrea Dietrich Poet Personification

Notes About The Poem

For Tania Kitchin's You're A Flower In My Garden 8 To 12 Lines Poetry Contest

 

_______________________________________________________________________

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!

Kelly Deschler March 10, 2024 at 6:13 PM 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 :)

Christina Bowring March 10, 2024 at 2:29 PM 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 :)

Tonye George March 9, 2024 at 3:00 PM Lovely personification and portrayal of the beautiful daffodil. I read it out loud and did enjoy the ryhmes. Nice one Andrea. Andrea Dietrich March 10, 2024 at 10:51 AM Thank you

Silent One March 9, 2024 at 11:30 AM Trust you to pick a daffodil.. I thought you would have chosen something exotic.. nicely done, I think this will be a top winner.. Andrea Dietrich March 9, 2024 at 12:08 PM Well I love roses best but I like showing my daffy side sometimes

Paula Goldsmith March 8, 2024 at 2:30 PM 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................. Andrea Dietrich March 9, 2024 at 12:09 PM I hope we are on the list together too

Duke Beaufort March 8, 2024 at 1:17 PM 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. Andrea Dietrich March 9, 2024 at 12:09 PM I love that they come back same as roses do

Ink Empress March 8, 2024 at 12:56 PM 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 Andrea Dietrich March 9, 2024 at 12:10 PM Thanks. This was a fun one to write

Jay Narain March 8, 2024 at 10:32 AM Personal bonding wit daffodils and other flowers, a real delight of a poem.
