poem from : http://famouspoetsandpoems.com/poets/william_wordsworth/poems/10951


1.the poem used "i gazed-and gazed-but little thought" as a hyperbole, shows that the poet wants to emphasis on how he gazed but he did not think of the show.

the poet also gave life to the golden daffodils describing them as "Fluttering and dancing in the breeze."(personification)

the poet also made the star a symbolism of "bliss of solitude"

2. I like this poem as it uses three types of the five figurative languages, which makes it very interesting to read. It keeps the reader captivated by how the poet compared himself with a cloud showing a sense of being a free man that is able to soar like a bird. He also described what he sees like daffodils, to human like trades such as dancing and dancing of the daffodils was also compared to his carefree heart. He also describes the stars as part of the never-ending milky way that’s seen from a margin of a bay. It’s all these details that shows how beautiful this poem is .
