Daffodils - a poem by by William Wordsworth

I wandered lonely as a cloud

That floats on high o'er vales and hills,

When all at once I saw a crowd,

A host, of golden daffodils;

Beside the lake, beneath the trees,

Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine

And twinkle on the milky way,

They stretched in never-ending line

Along the margin of a bay:

Ten thousand saw I at a glance,

Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced, but they

Out-did the sparkling leaves in glee;

A poet could not be but gay,

In such a jocund company!

I gazed—and gazed—but little thought

What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie

In vacant or in pensive mood,

They flash upon that inward eye

Which is the bliss of solitude;

And then my heart with pleasure fills,

And dances with the daffodils.

Run from the Sun - Anonymous Thomas

Frosty the Snowman

runs from the sun.

He's too late and now he's done.

He slowly melts, from ice to water, but can't you see that

the water you drink was ice.

His eyes.

I love that picture of those two!

[color:purple]ok, thanks for all of your helpful followups, fucktards. :doh:

i called a greenhouse and was informed that it is quite common this spring. seems we have had a very mild spring which prompted bulbs to sprout. but it hasnt been very sunny in the mornings. so if the bed primarily gets morning sun, they are not shooting up the flowers.

blame god, i guess, or ... global warming?

[Thorgnor]

Neither, just chance. No blame.

My daffodils were early, and now they've already lost their flowers, but the tulips are giving the whole garden hell!

This thread isn't gay, it's metro-sexual.
