    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

      Ah gwan Nigel. I love Robert Frost’s poetry. It holds a special place in my heart.

      In keeping with the theme of the eve, here’s Snow by Walter de la Mare.

      No breath of wind, 
      No gleam of sun – 
      Still the white snow 
      Whirls softly down 
      Twig and bough 
      And blade and thorn 
      All in an icy 
      Quiet, forlorn. 
      Whispering, rustling, 
      Through the air 
      On still and stone, 
      Roof, – everywhere, 
      It heaps its powdery 
      Crystal flakes, 
      Of every tree 
      A mountain makes; 
      ‘Til pale and faint 
      At shut of day 
      Stoops from the West 
      One wint’ry ray, 
      And, feathered in fire 
      Where ghosts the moon, 
      A robin shrills 
      His lonely tune.

        “‘Is there anybody there?’ said the Traveller”….

        That was one of his wasn’t it? :)

          Yes. It’s called ‘The Listeners’.

          A great poem. Creepy and dramatic and evocative in a very lovely way.

            “Creepy and dramatic and evocative in a very lovely way.”

            Eh, that’s on my business card….

  3. Janet, I ate my Avatar

    I made myself a snowball
    as perfect as could be
    I thought I’d keep it as a pet
    and let it sleep with me
    I made it some pyjamas
    and a pillow it’s wee head
    Then last night it ran away
    But first it wet the bed
