A daffodil is one of the prettiest flowers And all have to do is plant the bulb And give it a small bit of water And they will grow And they can come in different colors Some all yellow Some all white And some yellow and white You just never know. By Nate Relaford
Daffodil’s like the sun, cup orange, leave’s yellow The cup is like the soul of a person, the leave’s are like the body parts to keep it up The daffodil’s bulb is like the heart, if you pull it out it dies Little bugs dance, until the bee’s come. By Brady Perry
Daffodil, your pedals are bright yellow like the sun And your cup is like a beautiful orange sunset The stem is a green of the rolling meadows It has marks like an old oak tree The stamen is like a never ending shooting star Fare well daffodil, see your beauty next summer. By Jonah Clibourne
