Notes About The Poem
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

Yellow Frill

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
