Poetry is supposed to make you feel something, right? The vivid description of nature in I wandered Lonely as a cloud along with Wordsworth's tone throughout makes this poem feel kind of light and fluffy. As I read it I felt relaxed, de-stressed, soothed; how one feels when you lay out on a sunny day and just watch the clouds. Although it's not extremely complex, it was thoroughly enjoyable to read. I really like the last stanza reflecting on the "bliss of solitude." I think too often people equate solitude with loneliness or depression but Wordsworth depicts in this poem the beauty and joy that can come from solitude.
