A Senryu by William Marsland.

daffodils in bloom
waiting for a lonely cloud
I wander by

[heslopian]

A deep and thoughtful Wordsworth rip-off; like "Daffodils" in a nutshell. You take his famous metaphor and give it a new, interesting spin.
On an unrelated note, I heard recently that the original line was "I wandered lonely as a cow," but his sister Dorothy said that was stupid and made him change it.

i also heard the same thing. aren't big sisters great

thanks for the feedback jack.

yeah i did have wordsworth in mind at the time

this one was supposed to be a haiku. but i refuse to change the title

[Touchstone]

A cow, that floats on high?

Maybe he was smoking those daffodils.

hehe, u had a look for the qoute but can't find it, i do know it has been said he wrote as a cow.

it's fact he did change a few words in revisions though i can't find the cow anywhere.
it may have floated off
