Daffodowndilly by olivetreeann

Daffodowndilly

She wore her yellow sun-bonnet,
She wore her greenest gown;
She turned to the south wind
And curtsied up and down.
She turned to the sunlight
And shook her yellow head,
And whispered to her neighbour:
"Winter is dead."

A. A. Milne
When We Were Very Young

Today's Label 4 April word is Poetry in honor of national poetry Month. I was glad to see this entry because I've wanted to contribute a shot to the Poetry Club tag ever since it was created!
Beautiful perspective and light for this daffodil.

Thank you Bruni, Kerri, Maggie, Phil, Jackie, Gerry, Nicole, Kathryn, Laraine, Donald, Rick, and Carla!

@jackie8 The pov seemed to go well with the last two lines of the poem.
@dakotaburns I grew up on Milne and Stevenson and still have the books my mother read to me.
@mrssmith203 I actually stumbled on to this one while looking for a poem about shadows.

Lovely shot! I like that you caught it from the back. It's a different angle than normal. I also like how you captured the detail so well! Great job, Ann! :)

Nice shot, I like the originality of the angle.

Thank you Dione, Bev and Jennifer! Glad you liked it! I really did want to approach the daffodil from a new pov and I stumbled on the poem while looking for a poem about shadows.

I like your POV on this. Very interesting.
