My father’s favorite poem. Thanks for taking me back.

It’s an easy poem to love. There’s a message, but it’s not hidden and it reminds me of our woods in winter. It snowed last night.

Thanks for sharing… Robert Frost rocks! I have “Poetry for Young People” by Robert Frost illustrated by Henri Sorensen on my book shelf and continue to use it when talking ‘Poetry’ with kids of all ages. ❤

He has a clarity that most poetry lacks. I have always liked his poems. There’s a reason he’s was our local poet laureate. I think even dead he is STILL our poet laureate. No one else gave us pictures of the world in which we live, heavy with trees and stone fences and winter snow.

I have to wonder if the sun was going down and Frost was watching the sunset’s rays on the snow. I like to think so.

It was evening, so I’m assuming it was just around sunset. A snowy night is often very bright with that white sky and white ground. And in fact, it really did snow last night. not a lot, but enough to make the world very bright.
Robert Frost was New England’s own poet. He had a knack for capturing our little woodsy world. We have a portrait of him (taken by Alfred Eisenstadt) downstairs.

Nice. We got some light snow too — what my sib calls a “sugar snow”.
Years ago when I was traveling through New England, I made a point of visiting Frost’s grave at Old First Church in Bennington, Vermont. Great place.

Garry interviewed him, but it was long ago and he doesn’t remember much.

Not when you live in this part of the world. He had such a way of describing the Northeast.

That poem always makes me tear up, especially the last stanza. “Miles to go before I sleep” indeed. Thanks for sharing this. Robert Frost was amazing.

Especially since it was snowing last night. It wasn’t a big snow, maybe two inches, but it sure is pretty.
