A Host of Golden Daffodils?
The daffodil poem I love the most
Is that one where
There are a golden host of them,
A lot
Dancing under lonely clouds.
Byron, Keats… or?
Blow it!
I forgot.
Was it Shakespeare, Milton, or…
Poe?
T. S Elliot, or…
What?
It’s unlikely, I know…
But I think not.
I wander like a lonely cloud…
and wonder still,
(For crying out loud!)
Who wrote that poem?
Was it Phil?

My thanks to the host, Lilian, d’Verse Poets Open Link Night.
My thanks to William Wordsworth for writing his beautiful poem. I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud in which he wrote in the first stanza “A host, of golden daffodils;” Read Wordsworth’s full poem here.
