As for my favorite poem, I've always loved Robert Frost and especially this simple poem:
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.
Probably I like it because I always need reminders that life's pretty great, even on bad days. There's always something small, but wonderful, that happens to make you realize that.
Thanks for the plug, Suey.
ReplyDeleteWell, I tried anyway, though it doesn't seem to be helping much! I thought I had SOME readers... maybe they just aren't in a poetry mood?
ReplyDeletePoetry is a lot tougher, but that helps you with your chances of winning, doesn't it?
