Help with a poem about Daffodils please?

My daughter has to write a poem about Daffodils for a class assembly next week, but we're stuck! there's only so much you can say about a daffodil!! Any suggestions?

Help with a poem about Daffodils please?
Hmmmm - coming from Wales, I remember having to write about Daffodils, around St. David's Day time (1st March) too!



Write a list of all of the things you might associate with the flower - maybe things like -



Standing tall and proud, brightly coloured, a sea of yellow trumpets, gently blowing in the wind, symbol of friendship, national flower of wales etc. - then try to pull it all together - if you're still struggling, maybe create the poem around a story - maybe cheering someone's day with a daffodil!



If you want the poem to rhyme - also think of good words you could use - then fit sentences around those -

smile/while

power/flower

yellow/mellow

bright/light

toil/soil

proud/wowed!

friend/send

hunch/bunch



General info on the internet - like http://www.iflorist.co.uk/p-1266-daffodi... might also help!



Also do this this your daughter - once you start making suggestions like this, she may well come up with more ideas herself - kids have great imaginations!!



Good Luck - hope she does great!! :)
Reply:You could help her write a poem about herself as a child, dancing and playing in a field of daffodils, giving detail about their color, how many, their size, etc.
Reply:Daffadils all bright and yellow,

we can see them far away in the meadow,

when they all die,

new ones appear,

so there be nice bright daffadils all in the meadow,
Reply:Maybe try doing an acrostic?

Sorry, I cant think of anything off the top of my head, but try and find a word for each letter of Daffodil and expand on it.
Reply:How the bright yellow is a promise of summer and warmer days. - How they make you feel. - The fragrance and variety.

How they wait throught the cold winter weather and bide their time until the ground thaws out. - Just a few random thoughts, hope some of them help.
Reply:Off the top of my head...



Spring is in the air with lots of flowers all around.

The breeze, the warmth, the clouds and the melodic bird sound.

But I see that spring has come and will remain with us still,

The dancing and the swirling of the brightest daffodil.



(You could always make a longer poem just by piecing together the verses that everyone is writing in response to this question!)
Reply:This is my try which is horrible but you can try wikipedia to get more info link below.



hello you daffodil

Amaryllidaceae is your family

I would keep you with me happiely

Plantae is the kingdom you live

with love I want to give

Europe, North Africa and Asia is your home

I feel like I want to roam.

You come in white, You come in green

What ever you color I want you now.

Yellow is good so is pink

Orange is the one which makes me red



You root cures wounds, so is used in Kampo
Reply:daffodils are the harbingers of spring, go from there.
Reply:Well, start by brainstorming a list of descriptions, then see if any of them rhyme, or you can rhyme them with something else, or if they have any rhythm to them. Explore how she feels about them, and how they make her feel.



e.g. Daffodils, all bright and yellow

Make me feel all sunny and mellow

They look so good and smell so sweet

Every bloom is a joyful treat

Reply:Perhaps this will help, I could never resist a cry for aid.



The daffodills glow in the sinking sun,

We go and pick them one by one.

We would sooner wait until it's dark,

Then no-one could see us in the park.



How's that then? Better not show the teacher though.
Reply:1. Read 'Daffodils' by William Wordsworth



2. Go pick some, and get inspiration..



3. Use connotations and imagery fx. yellow like the sun or something..



4. Imagine you were a daffodil (I know..difficult!) What would life be like? You could write a poem about a daffodils journey from the field, getting eaten by a cow and coming out the other end...or maybe not!
Reply:The poem by William Wordsworth - Daffodils - is worth looking at.
Reply:The daffodil:

It is a bright, golden trumpet

Calling loudly that spring is here.

Winter turns its tail

When the golden daffodil calls

For springtime.



How about a stanza about the daffodil being worn by the Welsh on St David's day?
