Poetry Friday: Robert Frost
The wild, unpredictable weather has made me think of Robert Frost all week.
This week I experienced a new kind of stress, having to travel as I do to work. It was the one of if I go to work, will I be able to get home (buying chains is on my to do list). What came to mind was the infamous lines from “Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening”.
“The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.”
I discovered this website, dedicated to the work of Robert Frost and found another poem that fits this week:
DUST OF SNOW
The way a crow
Shook down on me
The dust of snow
From a hemlock tree
Has given my heart
A change of mood
And saved some part
Of a day I had rued.
We are planning a trip to Key West Florida this spring. I plan to visit his Florida house. Enjoy the week. Merry Christmas! Happy Hannukah! Author Amok is hosting Poetry Friday.
Happy Reading.

Chains are sold out in the city! I am snowed in.
