"Poetry is a way of taking life by the throat." - Robert Frost

Dust of Snow

BY ROBERT FROST

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.

So. I have doubled the list of poets and poems - just in case you wish to change your mind over break..
