Scrapheap 2008, #7

One more poem for you, one of my favourites,
"Daffodils" (1804)

I WANDER'D lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;

Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the Milky Way,
They stretch'd in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:

Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:

I gazed -- and gazed -- but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;

And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

By William Wordsworth (1770-1850).

So we will be looking for
1) element - cloud
2) crowd = cluster of elements
3) colours: golden daffodils and lake
4) something made of metal that shines
5) a single never-ending line
6) one picture only to represent the bliss of solitude

I am looking forward to seeing your work, and you have until the end of the month to upload to our gallery remember we are still playing for the set of QP's plus a surprise of a few brag book pages for each week, so don't miss it.

I love this poem! I still have my school assignment I did for this probably some 15 years ago! We had to make a comic strip for it. This was such a fun challenge! I can't wait for #8!

Here's mine...

Just read through the poem Doris, and see where it takes you, use the colours and elements that are in bold, and remember wandering off (as a cloud or not) is what we encourage, so use the poem as a starting point only. Can't wait to see more entries, I love you taking part, girls!
