VANESSA SHEMANDER HON

Haiku (I Wondered Lonely As A Cloud)

 

The poem picked is by William Wordsworth, I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud. The first stanza is most characteristic of the poem, especially the first line.

 

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.

 

The book aims to emphasise loneliness and a slight reinterpretation of the last two sentences of the first stanza.
