Daffodils

...to William Wordsworth


I wandered lonely as a cloud 
and then my feet got wet. 
I struggled through the 
undergrowth and found myself 

beset by insects nibbling at my 
breast, my temper wholly spent;
to hell with yellow daffodils 
and my predicament!

Funny write ... love the humor ... Wordsworth is going to be your albatross ... you have too much in common with his write ... did you read him a lot ? You both are masters of a glorious craft.
