Frank E Gibbard Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Daffodils honour us with their diaphanous emerging, familiar old friends, it’s welcome yellow fellows well met. We greet you gratefully from your submerging floral heads mutate, from green bud to golden bell. Nature, benefactor of all provision, gifts indulgence plays host to these visitors for sadly too brief a stay endows bright vistas which radiate in rare effulgence springing in Spring this seasonal and annual display. Daffodils grow row on row hereabout and all around a host of them as Wordsworth’s great poem extolled; flowers that proliferate and thrive upon waste ground gilding the darkest spaces by their alchemy into gold. Like gold a noble daffodil yields a treasure for the eye, an array of optical pleasure then doffs its cap goodbye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcmarti1 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Indulgence and effulgence? Masterful. And I just REALLY like this: gilding the darkest spaces..... You played with the meter (syllables) but still it is very recognizable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
