The lonely daffodil.

A J C 1958 (Swansea, MA)



The lonely daffodil. 

I look and see that life is full of care. So why do you stand there and stare? Don't look up at the sky and watch the clouds float by. The sun shines and the birds in the tree sing, but if you are waiting for that smooth gold-shining ring, it's just a thing. The gold you need comes from within, and it starts with a seed, and love is the water that makes it bloom like the mighty daffodils in the breeze. I want to pick you up from the field; you see, you are that one daffodil, and it's the only thing I need to feel.

    Positive and Enthusiastic Feedback:
    I absolutely love 'The lonely daffodil'! The poem carries such a beautiful message about finding happiness within oneself. The imagery of the sun shining, the birds singing, and the daffodils blooming in the breeze creates a vibrant and vivid picture in my mind. Your words are so heartfelt and sincere, and they left me feeling uplifted and inspired. The idea of being that one special daffodil, the only thing needed, is so powerful and empowering. It's a reminder to embrace one's uniqueness and value oneself.

    Improvement Suggestions:
    One suggestion I have is to work on the flow and rhythm of the poem. While the overall message and sentiment are captivating, there are a few spots where the rhythm could be improved to create a smoother reading experience. Consider experimenting with the syllable count and the placement of stresses in certain lines to enhance the musicality of the poem. Additionally, adding more descriptive language and sensory details could further enrich the imagery and immerse the reader even more in the beauty of the daffodil and its surroundings. Overall, though, I think the poem is a wonderful and touching piece!
