Hello, Saalam, Namaste, Hi Yah Everyone... Am back with my appreciation poem of this new jodi Arnav and Kushi.. All of us know Wordsworth's famous poem, The Solitary Reaper and the The Daffodils.(Well who can forget that everlasting and famous poems of him).
This is an attempt by me to scribble a few verses about this new pair,imbibing the essence of Wordsworth's works. Any mistakes and syntax error, please excuse, but dont forget to leave your valuable comments.
Sig courtesy-Sangeetha
THE REAPER AND THE DAFFODIL
Behold the solitary Reaper!
Reaping and harvesting

His carefully cultivated sows.

A forlorn and lonely Man
Serious and profound, stern yet suave

Ruthless and powerful, hardnosed yet grounded

Cutting a sorry figure
Amongst joys and smiles of a happy life.
The yields of Reaper worthy a copper.
A wandering cloud sees
A host of golden Daffodils.
Each is same, her face so serene

Like shiny stars, twinkling and dancing

Fluttering yet spirited, full of life
Righteous and intelligent, simple yet strong

Her life so lovely ,cheerful and gay

Cometh the Reaper sighting the Daffodil
Where belief in ends meets belief in means.
Confrontations and tribulations,

Mistakes and misunderstandings

Parleys of Love and hate
Parleys of Morals and ideals

Are norm and order of the day.

Then hearts pleasure fills atlast
It's the dances of Reaper and Daffodil
To song of joy, bliss and happiness

The melody of love, ecstasy and divine

Flowing and brimming, uniting and binding

Forever, forever and forever till the end.

Thanz Miranda for reading this poem. A small correction though, this poem is my own creation with just 3 or 4 verses from the original two great poems, The solitary reaper and The daffodils.
Indeed all of us must have come across Wordsworth's work in our school days.
