I wanted to write something challenging about spring, so I decided to write a Golden Shovel poem. A Golden Shovel poem is a form of poetry where you take a line or two from another poem and use each word from the borrowed line as the last word of each line in your new poem. I chose the poem “Daffodils” by William Wordsworth, and his poem and mine are below.
I’ve only written one other Golden Shovel, and since I’m on the topic, here it is.
