daffodils
“Daffodils” by William Wordsworth
I love this poem a lot! It gives a great peaceful and relaxing atmosphere------as if I am travelling in a grand forest admiring and feeling the lovely daffodils with the poet. I especially love the part when the poet detailedly describe how the daffodils fill all around the forest. It help me to image the whole picture, to feel the greatness of the beauty of the nature-------which is very appreciating and breathtaking. And I also found the first two lines of the first stanza interesting as the poet said he was admiring the daffodils on a cloud but not when wandering around in the forest. I think it somehow gives me fairytale feeling.
Lots of skills have been used in this poem. It has used rhyme-----a rhyme with a pattern------ words in line 1 and 3 in every stanzas are rhyme (e.g. cloud and crowd) , words in line 2 and 4 in every stanzas are rhyme (e.g. hills and daffodils) , words in line 5 and 6 in every stanzas are rhyme (e.g. trees and breeze. And skill of personification has been used to describe the movements of the daffodils in stanza 2 and 3. The poet said the daffodils are dancing. Also, metaphor has been used in stanza 2. The poet said the amount of daffodils were as much as stars in the milky way to describe how huge the amount of daffodils were.
By reading the poem, I can feel the merriness of the poet----- especially during his admiration of the daffodils. Yet, at the beginning and at the near end of the poem I can feel the poet feels a bit lonely. Yet, at the very end of the poem, the poet said whenever he is lonely the daffodils will be recalled which merried him. Thus I think the feeling and tone of the whole poem is joyful and merry.
And new vocabularies could be learned from the poem, especially vocabularies expressing the felling of happiness, like jocund and gay.
In conclusion, ifound this poem very worth admiring as it gives reader a very relaxing, peaceful and joyful feeling so I would strongly

    I remember when I first experienced goosebumps raise on my arms and send a shiver through my body, simply because the words leaving the speaker's lips left such an imprint on me. I didn’t think that a simple sentence could bring tears to my eyes, could cause me to react in any physical way. I didn’t even know the author. Yet, it still amazes me anytime I react to such a poem. The emotions that the author pours into every word and every syllable is astounding. Each pause and breath tell a story on their own. I knew that I had to try. I wanted to make people feel the way like I did when I first heard them, but because it was my words that made them react.…

    My goal when writing this paper is to get my opinion and perspective on the poem across to my classmates so they know where I stand, but also to remain broad enough in my writing so that my readers can compare their own response to mine. Maybe in doing that, I can help a fellow classmate or two who has a block and is stuck in the middle of the assignment.…

    I truly reading this poem, because it creates a beautiful image. Words such as peaceful,sunlight,haze, and “the far horizon fading away” helped create that beautiful image. The image I was visualizing had a beautiful farm that was very quiet and peaceful, and I also pictured a beautiful sun setting. Additionally, one thing that I think would've taken this poem to the next level , is a shift in the mood. Throughout the poem the poet is discussing about very calm and peaceful things, but if the poet added a extra line or two about something very dark/evil I think that would have been amazing.In addition, I also feel like it was quite difficult to stay on track due to the excessive amount of commas. As we learned in class punctuation in poetry…

    My Papa's Waltz

    He states in the first stanza that he wanders “lonely as a cloud/That floats on high o’er vales and hills,” which, in just reading the first line, may seem a bit melancholy. However, interpreting the vision of a magnificent cloud alone in the sky puts a positive spin on the idea. Additionally, the second line serves as a reminder of that positivity. He then refers to a vast expanse of flowers as “a crowd,/a host, of golden daffodils,” suggesting that the amount of flowers is overwhelming, but in no way is it a sign that one should not venture further. On the contrary, it seems a lot more like an invitation to join in on the ‘party’ that the flowers are having. If Wordsworth had simply called it “a bunch/a group of flowers,” it would not have had nearly the same effect, because ‘group’ and ‘crowd’ have very different implications as far as size goes. He furthers the hyperbole in the second stanza by calling the flowers “Continuous as the stars that shine/And twinkle on the milky way.” For most, the number of stars in our galaxy is entirely unfathomable. Furthermore, the idea of that many things existing in just one area on our planet is almost overwhelming, and it puts a great sprightly feeling into the reader’s…

    The Poem begins with metaphors which make comparisons to the beauty of youth. “Natures first green is gold,” compares the precious beauty of first stages to the priceless value of gold. “Her early leaf’s a flower,” demonstrates personification of “her” which represents beauty and care, adding a gentle outlook. Flowers are often viewed with admiration of their beauty and grace, to compare a leaf to a flower exhibits the young beauty, of which all flowers and leaves eventually lose, when they wither and die.…

    I personally have tried analyzing this poem for about a week now, and it has been so difficult for me to find the real meaning of this poem. And very difficult to try and understand the tone and mood. So, although I wasn't able to find a whole bunch about the poem, I found it very interesting and enjoyed even looking up this poem further and reading about the author and what other people took from this poem. So overall, this poem is a very well written poem and the ideas are endless of what it could…

    The overall message of the poetry conveys a sense of optimism . However just like in other good poems , the lines are able to communicate their own emotions . More importantly , their thoughts add up to transcend the writing into a poetry that speaks of life and the everyday journey of each person…

    This poem is written in the sonnet form consisting of fourteen lines total, the first three stanza’s have four lines each and rhymes every other line while the last stanza only two lines rhyming perfectly together. The style alone impresses me since I have tried to write sonnets before and found it to be too difficult to follow the strict structural guidelines (although I do aim to master a sonnet of my own one day, maybe even in this class!).…

    As well as the tone he uses is exactly what he wants us to see that nature has power over him. Wordsworth uses diction when he says, “lonely as a cloud” This shows the negative felling his going through. He feels lonely and very sad. His diction connotes to something unpositive his going through so this is the start of the poem that guides us through what was the purpose of his walk and that indeed he is sad. "A poet could not but be gay, In such a jocund company" another example of diction that has a positive connotation his heart is now filled with happiness as he is accompanied by this positive and happy people. He is even using personification because he is the daffodils human characteristics that they are cheerful company like a human…
