A Poem in One Picture

I decided to visually explicate "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" by William Wordsworth mostly because I enjoy reading poems that allude to our natural world. In his poem, Wordsworth mostly addresses things that are found in our nature such as clouds, trees, grass, flowers, etc., so I made sure to incorporate those elements in my drawing.

  1. I like how this image really captures the essence of the poem. Looking at it makes me feel like I've stepped into the footsteps of the poem's speaker. The illuminating daffodils dominate the center as if I have just come upon them, while the hills and trees frame the scene. This poem seems innocent and uplifting--the speaker starts off lonely but meets some daffodils. It helps that the weather in your image is so nice.

  2. Nice drawing! I really like how you wrote down the first several lines of the poem as they really are the most iconic lines of the entire poem and really go with your drawing. "Daffodils" is one of my favorite poems and I think your visual explication does a nice job illustrating the poem.

  3. This is a super cute drawing! I wandered lonely as a cloud is one of my favorite poems so I really like how you included actual text from the poem in your visual explication. Your drawing does a good job of capturing the chill pastoral vibe of the poem.

  4. This is a sweet drawing in response to one of my favorite poems. I wish it were flipped so it's not on its side, though...

  5. I like how you included the words to the poem to complement the drawing. You did a good job in capturing the major visuals that Wordsworth includes in the poem.

  6. I really like how you combined the words of the poem and drawings. I think you did a great job combining all of the different images of the poem. This drawing is so much better than I could ever do.

  7. Nice drawing! It looks a bit like something my younger brother would draw (no offense meant), and I think this complements in the innocent nature of this poem. Superimposing the words over the background was a good choice too, I think.
