With Apologies to Mr. Wordsworth
Answer to William Wordsworth's Poem12 total reviews
Comment from K. Lang-Slattery
Must I admit I like your poem almost more than Wordsworth's? It is a superb reply and reads well, the rhymes work, and the meaning is heartfelt. I especially liked the second to the last stanza.
p.s. There is a format error in the copy of the Wordsworth poem (in dazed). I think you can fix this easily.

Thanks so much, Katie. You always have good advice, and I think I always take it!
Comment from GeraldShuler
I thought I was in solitude
Though this was never true.
Although I never saw her
Verna was up there, too.
All I saw was daffadils
By waves of rolling sea
But Verna saw the all of it
And now that's what I see.
You really did take a deep poem deeper. Wordworth would not have complained. Well done.

Comment from Tom Horonzy
What is it about daffodils? I too wrote something of them, and it may or not be in my portfolio but as I recall it was a photo poem of a scene I took of them waving in the breeze. after a long winter, they and crocuses are the leaders to begin Spring's revival.

Thanks so much, Tom, for your excellent review.
Comment from Paul McFarland
I read all the poems in the contest, and yours far surpasses any of the others. In your note, you have given Wordsworth too much credit and yourself, not enough.

Always thought highly of Wordsworth and this particular poem.
Your "Reply" is of equal pleasure; yes, it made me smile!
Thank you for the composition!

I love Wordsworth's poem and I love your response, which to me is just as eloquent and smooth, with its fine rhyme and metre. Sending you best wishes for your entry in the contest.

Verna,
This is an excellent answer poem. I must admit it's been since high school since I've read poems like this...I like rhyming poetry, it isn't that easy to rhyme and have a good rhythm to a poem.
Your work shines, and I like the way you speak to this poet.
Good luck with this one!
Blessings,
Cindy

Comment from BethShelby
I love it Vera. You poem deserves to be on equal basis with his. I've always like Wordsworth though and it was nice to his poem again as well. The challenge is bringing a lot of talent from the FanStory poets.

What a lovely reply to William Wordsworth's famous poem! That first line is so famous and we can all relate to a pensive mood. But we can also enjoy the company of many more colors, too! Best wishes in the contest!
