I saw flowers on my way
Through yonder woods today.
They were the same bloom
As those I admired
And so desired
Yesternoon.
But no,
I can not be sure
As they grow
In such profuse store.
I think therefore
That it may not be so.

A lovely poem, Kevin.
Thank you, Robbie. I appreciate your kind words.

As I read this I thought of the daffodils that are blossoming in our woods as ell as elsewhere on our farm. A lovely poem.
Thank you for commenting and liking my poem, Ruth.
You are lucky to have such a profusion of daffodils on your farm and in the woods. I do enjoy seeing daffodils and I am also extremely fond of hyacints (I love the scent of the latter).
Best wishes, Kevin
We bought the farm in 2011 and that fall we bought a daffodil bulbs and did what my husband calls gorilla planting (just planted the here and there and every where. Each year they spread a little. I think daffodils are the perfect spring flower because I think yellow is a happy color. They always make me smile. 🙂
That sounds wonderful, Ruth. What a lovely idea planting daffodils randomly like that.
Some time back I wrote this humorus poem about daffodils, https://newauthoronline.com/2016/09/16/daffodils-with-apologies-to-william-wordsworth/.
Best, Kevin
I love the cadence of this piece. There is a dreamlike mystery here. I love when the narrator shares their doubts. Very well done, I read it four times.
Thank you for your extremely kind words, Rachel. I am delighted that you like my poem.
Best wishes, Kevin
I love this! Yesternoon – a great word.
Thank you. I am delighted that you enjoyed reading my poem.
Yesternoon, indeed, I share the opinion! Also, love how hope intermingles with doubt in this poem, isn’t that the case with flowers? The bloom and they fade, but then bloom again. Wonderful poem, thank you for sharing. — Stephen
Thank you for commenting and your kind words about my poem. Indeed there is hope for flowers bloom, fade then bloom again. Kind regards – Kevin
You are very welcome, and may we all stick around for that continued blooming!
