I have several varieties of daffodils, jonquils, and narcissus..The other day the wind was whipping and the air was cold and totally cloudy..The hill of Daffodils reminded me of the sun..The stem on them is hollow which allows them to survive the cold fairly well but the blooms will get hurt or killed but usually the bulb survives for another year..Sara
I wanted to write a poem About the Daffodil But when I tried to fit it In a form, it lost all its thrill I wanted to say how lovely Swaying upon the hill Dancing in the morning breeze Sporting her yellow frill Daffodils fill my senses Like a tulip in springtime Like a star studded midnight Like a fire on cold winter's eve Their bright golden center Like a golden sunrise Daffodils in spring centre Even when clouds fill skies Daffodils light up my life When my hope had gone From winter's drear strife Daffodil you help me go on For your bright sunny Center lights up my life You are nature's bonny Excellent flower of highlife (Kind of borrow some from "Annie's Song" sung by John Denver...

Dear Sara, Thank you for your kind comment. However, I never plan my poems - they are written line by line without knowing what is coming next. I loved your poem about the daffodil and its yellow frill - I am sure John Denver would not have minded anything you borowed. God bless, Maureen

Not a problem, Sara, your words sing out beautifully as usual, love the 'Swaying upon the hill' now that is 'Wordsworth' a line he would have been proud of. harry
