6th Blog: Poem

I am going to blog about a poem I found on the Internet for my blog post this week because I finished    My Sister's Keeper and don't want to give away the end. But I may say the ending exceeded my expectations because it was very different then the movie. I highly recommend this book. It would be a great read over spring break! The poem I choose is called I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud. I couldn't paste the whole poem so the name of the poem has a hyper link connected to it that will take you to the poem. It is written by William Wordsworth. Do you see the irony in his last name?

I choose this poem because when I read it I visualized things that reminded me of spring and since spring break is soon I thought it would be a good topic to talk about. My favorite line in it is the last line. "And then my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the daffodils,"(Wordsworth 4). I think this line makes the theme of the poem apparent and it gives a very pretty visual. Another line I like is "Ten thousand saw I at a glance,"(Wordsworth 2). I think William is really clever when he switches the order of saw and it. After I read the line I re-read it thinking it should be I saw. But I realized that he intended to do that showing his writer's craft. I also like the word jocund he uses. It means "cheerful;merry;glad,"(dictionary.com). I think this poem shows examples of many good writing techniques such as diction, imagery and rhyming. It was fun blogging about something other than a novel, I encourage you to try it!
