A well-written contest entry. Your aproach to the contest challenge was creative. I have never thought of a daffodil bent over as being ashamed of ots name. Well done and good luck in the contest.

A great way to look at a flower when it's head bows embarrased by its name.. Made me smile. A clever 5-7-5 a great contest entry good luck.

Daffodil, so pretty, <>her head hanging, a pity...
ashamed of her name.
Da/ffo/dil, so pre/tty, = 6 syllables
her head hanging, a pity... 7
ashamed of her name. 5
for a 5/7/5 contest the syllable count is very important. If you fix it I will change my review to a 5 stars.

Thank you, Gypsy! Believe it or not, I fixed the mistake very soon after I posted the poem, and you must have read it almost immediately. I'm glad it was you!
(Counting to five has always been a problem for me. Ask my kindergarten teacher.)
Cheers!
