William danced with daffodils
amidst his lovely Cumbrian hills
Penning poesy 'easy on the ear'
is why many hold him dear

William Wordsworth

Wandering lonely as a cloud
He saw life, death, springs and fields
Loving lakes greenly
Loving roses redly
And people-
So tenderly
So sadly

For William Wordsworth

Mind like a tendril green
In the inspiration of the sun
Climbing walls unseen
Where common daffodils run
On a ledge of heaven, the angels' form to ken.

rabid bard 
perforce
binds 
untethered reins
of a supple wit 
excising 
the ornate quills
head lowered
body tilts
into commas
whittling lyrics 
through his swivet

Premium Member Daffodil

Delightful garden bloom
Dazzling colored flower
Delicate stemmed petals
Double-headed beauty
Decorates yards in Spring
Drink in its fragrant scent

Premium Member Teaching Poetry Makes Me Feel Weak

we started with thomas hardy
we went onto dickinson
then onto wordsworth
as the clock 
ticks 
by 
the material makes me dry up like a leaf (that’s a simile) 
damn these poets and their puniness

Daffodils

I wandered lonely as a cloud
until my feet got wet.
I struggled through the 
undergrowth and found myself
beset by insects all around, 
my temper wholly spent,
to hell with yellow daffodils
and my predicament!

...with apologies to Mr Wordsworth!

Inamorata - Wordsworth Sestet

Will you soon speak to me of thy love, Joan
Tell me that you want me as I want you
Can I endure a callous bile adieu
from thy lips most cerise, soft, tender, sweet,
from those which solely I have ever known.
Let’s share, inamorata, time is fleet.

Premium Member William Wordsworth, Shakespeare

William Wordsworth
England was the place of his birth
He got inspired and became quite thrilled
When he saw a host of golden Daffodils

William Shakespeare
Had great poetic flair
He wrote several plays too
Like Macbeth, King Lear, And The Taming of the Shrew

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!
Form: Verse

From Aristotle To Wordsworth

Track them most as wanderers
Life's deep ponderers.
Who scales this rarefied air
Breathes in genius!

By what, in fowl, does impress
For soaring progress
Led on as twere. Inspired, more
Again, as if by
Their own breakthroughs, fiery-high.
Divine! Splenderous!

Premium Member King of My Castle

  Byron and Shelley have nothing on me
    Even Wordsworth is jealous, I hear
  Keats and Coleridge, they move me not
    Their imagery so drab and so drear

  In my room at my desk
    I am King of my Castle
  Now all that remains is
    to pen poems that dazzle

Andrew Marvel, William Blake To Wordsworth

I
 What immortal hand or eye
Could frame mysteries in the sky!

II
When the world is too much with us
 He sends visions, Ramanujans, Christ

III
 Shakespeare had dreams, even awake
When humanity was poor in tea & cake

IV
God gives words to poets: leaves sailing -
To begin - loving a pet, sky - urge growing

Premium Member Fritillary

I flit and flutter 
     on the wind
blown 
  as the spirit leads
drawn by colour 
   and intense needs
my journee
      erratically unfolds-
I alight,
     spread my wings
in still life

to make
    poets sing.

The Greatest Poet

I guess I'm the greatest poet who ever lived;
The guru of words and a master of tempo
Who knows no rival at any time perceived
To be equal or better than he.

I reckon Wendell was good and Shakespeare great
As well as Wordsworth and Poe and Longfellow and all,
But none of them managed my overcomimg of fate
To pen verse as good as mine.

With Apologies To Wordsworth.

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high as day begun,
Until I see a happy crowd,
YES !! then I'll go and block the Sun .
I'll threaten mist , but dump some showers.
First a gentle fall , then heavy spills.
I'll seek-out Willie Wordsworth's flowers
And rain upon his daffodils .


P.S.   Lighten-up folks...... not to be taken seriously...........

Premium Member What Are Words Worth

Mrs Wordsworth had a new baby
William was his name
She was so proud of her little son
Not expecting his rise to fame
He was a famous poet
I think Poet Laureate of his time
His beautiful choice of words
And the way he made them rhyme
This made him very wealthy
And he knew what his words were worth
I do not think his family name
Was an accident of birth
William Wordsworth!

Premium Member Poetic First Liners Wordsworth

I recite and read aloud,
wander, lonely as a cloud,
then emulate and create
as memory stimulates;
Swim against poetry's tide
therein,an enigma hide,
perhaps,a step too far,with
Tennyson,crossing the bar;
I dream on Will's sonnet verse,
figuratively,sweet and terse,
lazing life away,with songs
compared to a summer's day.

To conjure an opening line
ever,remembered,as mine.
