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
I really enjoy
this poem because of how simple it is and yet it still has meaning. Robert Frost uses descriptive language very well, and
even though it is a very short poem he still conveys everything clearly. I also really like how this poem rhymes. The whole
poem rhymes perfectly and he did not give up any of the poems meaning to make that possible. Overall i like this poem the
most and it even ends happily.
One of my favorite poems is "A Winter Eden". I think the imagery in this poem is amazing.
The tone is very peaceful and relaxing, and also easy-going. I think that one of the reasons this poem is so easy to
read and like is that many of the elments of poetry are present. There is stanza, Rhythm, Rhyme, Alliteration, Assonance,
Metaphor, Personifictaion, and of course, Imagery.
A Winter Eden
A winter garden in an alder swamp,
Where conies now come out to sun and
romp,
As near a paradise as it can be
And not melt snow or start a dormant tree.
It lifts existence on a plane
of snow
One level higher than the earth below,
One level nearer heaven overhead,
And last year's berries shining
scarlet red.
It lifts a gaunt luxuriating beast
Where he can stretch and hold his highest feat
On some wild apple
tree's young tender bark,
What well may prove the year's high girdle mark.
So near to paradise all pairing ends:
Here
loveless birds now flock as winter friends,
Content with bud-inspecting. They presume
To say which buds are leaf and
which are bloom.
A feather-hammer gives a double knock.
This Eden day is done at two o'clock.
An hour of winter
day might seem too short
To make it worth life's while to wake and sport.
"A poem begins in delight and ends in wisdom"-Robert Frost
