Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
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.
By: Robert Frost
Robert Lee Frost (March 26, 1874 – January 29, 1963) was an American poet. His work frequently drew inspiration from rural life in New England. He was also the Inaugural poet for John F. Kennedy in 1961.

Your blog makes me want to write and write and write. Oh, have you read Their eyes were watching God? Ay yai yai, what a delicious book.
You guys got blasted as well I see... We got about a foot in most areas by my house and work. We really needed the moisture, so it is time. We were like 24 inches low on snow this year before this storm, so we are starting to catch up. We have been spoiled here in MN. I am lucky to have a neighbor who shovels for me! :) So, I really like the snow. The people who spent all day Sun shoveling their driveways and sidewalks, not loving it so much yesterday as I was. I just snuggled in and watched the MN Wild hockey game and then of course NASCAR! I was very content to spend the day in my jammies with my kitty while the others cleared the streets and my parking lot! (I KNOW I am blessed not to have to shovel! I am buying him a gas card as a thank you!)
That is about all here! Have a great day and thanks for the pic's of the winter wonderland! And I LOVE Robert Frost poems!
For me snow just makes a beautiful difference to a scenery.
Robert Frost- I haven't read too much of his poetry. I'm going to have to check him out.
Thanks for sharing!
To day I took a picture of a ladybug I put it on mys garden blog (Garden of Marguerite)
My rose bushes are ready to be pruned
I'll do it soon, perhaps I'll begin this afternoon
Look at you all laid back while others do the shoveling. :) That's cool. I'm happy to hear all is well. I'm glad that you like the pics. Peace~

Yeah, you would be tired of it where you live. :)
Thank you dear lady. Thank you. :)
My hope was for it to work. :) Thanks.

I can't remember when I first started liking Frost. Was it high school or college???
thankyou,

Thank you so much. That's what every poet hopes for. Welcome.
This poem forces the individual to re-live the wonderful innocence of a child all over again.
Beautiful!
