The goal? One poem each day .... inspired by a daily wonder. I've got the start above....but have no idea what it will look like when I'm done.
Take a peek at this week's Poetry Friday Roundup with Amy VanDerwater at The Poem Farm.
Fun poem, Linda!
ReplyDeleteWith these wagging, waving yellow hats everywhere, we can't help but love how wonderful it is to have them in yards and grocery store bloom counters. Today a saw a little girl at our Trader Joe's zooming down the aisle with her daffodil bouquet. Her Dad asked her to stop and she said,
"But it's a PARADE!"
Love your happy, laughy daffs! I always like daffodil poems. I shared a Wordsworth one here: https://wordpress.com/post/friendlyfairytales.com/3549 Happy Poetry Friday!! And thanks for your visits to my posts. Your words never fail to buoy my spirits and make me smile.
ReplyDeleteLinda, I love your sweet poem! I'm still waiting to hear a hi from daffodils here in upstate NY. Good news is our BIG snow is melting! Poetry is born from noticing the ordinary- truly a gift. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWho can resist the bright yellow cheeriness of a laughy daffy!
ReplyDeleteThat's the daffodil's job don't y'know! Such a happy-making flower. :)
ReplyDeleteThose 'happy-laughy' daffodils are giggling all around here, too, Linda. Your poem made me smile.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I never realized it before...but all daffodils really DO shout "Hi!" at us. After winter's endless white and then the mud of early spring, a yellow shot is most welcome, as is your delight of a poem. Thank you! Happy wonder-finding. xx
ReplyDeleteDaffodils are friendly! Your poem really brings out their personality. I'm glad you're joining Laura's wonder poem project. I am too, except my "wonder" is focusing on gratitude.
ReplyDeleteLove that happy, laughy daffodil and am glad you slowed down to capture it with your poem.
ReplyDeleteDaffodils ARE a wonder, Linda! I love the friendliness of your poem and these sweet spring flowers. =)
ReplyDeleteYou've made a brilliant start! It's always fun to see how these challenges stretch and surprise one. Have a fabulous April full of #wonderbreak(s). (I'll be lurking on twitter to see how you do :)
ReplyDeleteWe have had some dreary days lately so these daffodils bring a bright spot today! Have a "happy, laughy Daffodil" kind of day!
ReplyDelete"A happy laughy Daffodil"-so fun! I can't wait for more of your wonder inspired poems, Linda!
ReplyDeleteLinda, your daffodil is a small wonder that shouts out springtime. Please save this one for my soon-to-be announced spring gallery.
ReplyDeleteA friend gave me a pot of miniature daffodils a few springs ago. After their time on my kitchen table, I put them in the front flower bed. This year, 11 little smiling, giggling daffodilettes have lightened my spirits on a daily basis!
ReplyDeleteYour geode poem (Northern Lights -- yes! perfect comparison) and the hidden owl caught my eye today. Wonderful work on these poems, Linda.
ReplyDeleteI love that Northern Lights poem! Congratulations on sticking with your goal.
ReplyDeleteI particularly love your Northern Lights poem - I've been fortunate enough to see them once, years ago in Alaska, and it truly is one of nature's most poetic features!
ReplyDeleteHow 'bout that, indeed?! Wow, I am loving your poems this month, Linda... and the Northern Lights inside a geode... gorgeous! xo
ReplyDeleteThese are all wonderful. My favorite is your Northern Lights poem. It is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLove your Apr 3 Virginia Bluebells ... a wonderful palindrome!
ReplyDeleteI love your poems - and images to go with. I cannot think which I love best, though. I can definitely relate to the purplest. And I *love* that owl photo! Where does the owl finish and the bark begin??? And found punctuation is also pretty neat -great poetry (and pic) capture. Keep up the wonderful words!
ReplyDeleteWhat impresses me, Linda, is not just that you're writing everyday, but that you find the time to give each piece a careful and thoughtful presentation.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely collection of fun. They show you have a beautiful heart, an artistic eye and a clever tongue.
ReplyDeleteYour photo/poem combos are marvelous. Seems like there should be a collection of the best...perhaps a book?!?!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on keeping up with your wonderful poem-writing goal. I like all of these, but I think my favorite is Virginia Bluebells.
