Dust of Snow

By Joe

Dust of Snow

by Robert Frost (1923)

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.

About Joe

I began my life in the South and for five years lived as a closeted teacher, but am now making a new life for myself as an oral historian in New England. I think my life will work out the way it was always meant to be. That doesn't mean there won't be ups and downs; that's all part of life. It means I just have to be patient. I feel like October 7, 2015 is my new birthday. It's a beginning filled with great hope. It's a second chance to live my life…not anyone else's. My profile picture is "David and Me," 2001 painting by artist Steve Walker. It happens to be one of my favorite modern gay art pieces. View all posts by Joe

  Love that poem and love Frost. Each autumn, I post "Nothing gold can stay" – another favorite Frost poem.

  BosGuy, I too love Frost. And when I was still posting poems on my other blog, I also posted "Nothing gold can stay." I was and still am contemplating posting "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" but I know that you have already posted that one. It is such a beautiful poem, I may not be able to resist, LOL.
