Ha ha - no-one seemed to notice it, mneme - don't worry!
I'm glad i didn't make it any more obvious though - I think the poem would have suffered. Besides, there was no room to put the name in anywhere!

nice.. a blending of genres, sonneteer and romanticist.. I didn't quite get the allusion to narcissus but of course I should have, in a poem invoking wordsworth's daffodils. You were too quick for me.

Hi Troosha
Thanks very much. I spent slightly longer on this one. You're right, I was due to write about love, and this was my attempt to do just that. It could be called 'The English Narcissus.'

First class again. So enjoyable and easy to memorize. Wordsworthian, I agree. The words are worth its.....I dunno what word to use!

I think this is one of your best!!! I was glued to the screen as I read each word and the last line - a twist or maybe a punch of reality (or both). If love invokes such passion from you, you should write about it more often....

Hi Neil - absolutely right, it is deliberately Wordsworthian in tone.

eCHOES OF DAFFODILS, sPRING & wORSWORTH. u WORDSMITH HAD A SURPRISE AT end
Good going--as usual. I liked the resonances with the best tomantic poets I have enjoyed in my youth; the twist and originality at the end is quite a jolt back to reality and realitic poetry. Shalom and Happy Easter
