Notes About The Poem

I Wandered Lonely As a Gallivant

"I wandered lonely as a cloud”
Quote by - William Wordsworth  


I wandered lonely as a gallivant
Looking for some ways to fill up my days
I came across a mighty swarm of ants
And was completely blinded in the haze
When the air cleared I heard claps of thunder
My heart sunk, there was I going under. 

Each cloud exhibits a dazzling side
In my view, gossip is plain to see
But I'm certain the adage is implied
It was joyful to view this bloom of glee
How can I be certain, you wonder?
I'll assess what pushed us asunder.  

I recognized the bloom in the sky 
Moreover, the crowd pushed me down
I just remained there and froze in dismay 
My ribs were slamming and shifting around  
Lastly, I was kept in a hospice room 
As doubtful as the light, I'm in a gloom.  

This bed is where I spend a lot of time
My mental image has instantly formed
Anger, apathy, or tearful glazed grime
Those pink, murky clouds above warned 
The agony then spreads across my chest
But I still warn myself to do my best.
