Dee, Nice try! but, even in Canada - - - people cannot hibernate! B.V.A.
There is something gently wistful about this one. More than just the wilting of a flower and the inevitability of change. Perhaps it is the word 'daffodil', it touches something very close to home. Lovely poem. Allie xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Unfortanately flower power is limited only by wintery seasons. It's too bad flowers cannot remain around all year to give the great outdoors it's forever beauty to be enjoyed by one and all. Great write kind mistress of the rhyming word. God bless all poets-MJG.

life goes on in cycles...we need to go along...flow along...happiness lies there and there only...DEE...love...nalini
There is something about this that makes it a lot more than the first glance. It seems to me that it is a repost to Wordworth's incredibly under valued poem.. i like this as a skillfull piece of writing and as a jibe.

Petals wither, leaves wilt. Talent doesn't. A sweet succinct stunner.
The changing moods of nature, we have much to learn, A brilliant insight in this, thankyou Love Duncan x
A great poem, it's sad but also reminds us about rebirth for the next spring ans summer. Great work
You've captured the transient nature of nature - like the way you ended with the positive - 'See you in the Spring' Warmest wishes, Justine
DAFFODILS ARE FOREVER, ESPECIALLY ONES W/ POETIC EXPRESSION LIKE A FINE WINE, SIMPATICO! SO HOPE THIS IS NO AUTO-BIO-PO... ''''''''''''''''''''''FRANK
Dee this poem is so sad and you have made it just perfect from start to finish a really lovely poem. I have written a poem called A Cry for Help you may like to readit some time cheers Sylvie
Dee, when I first read this I had a horrible feeling you might be leaving, then I read the dates on earlier comments and was relieved. Great poem and thanks for sharing it my friend. Hugs David
