Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
by Robert Frost
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
And miles to go before I sleep
Lots of things still to achieve
Bills to pay, promises to keep
Experiences and challenges
See the world, flowers to blossom
And miles to go before I sleep
Winter, spring, summer, autumn
All the seasons to be enjoyed
Come rain or shine, thunder or calm
Snowy morning, autumn evening
And miles to go before I sleep
Play with grandchildren, thatβs a dream
High tech and new discoveries
New sciences and languages
Stories to write, poems to read
And miles to go before I sleep

I loved this (although was exhausted just reading it, there is so much to do – hehe). Great job. KL β€

Thank you so much for sticking it out and although I too have been too tired, I have also been energized by this experience. Thanks for choosing to be a part of it. I really like Frost and once wrote a poem about the need for mending walls. You made a good choice for an anchor piece,

That IS one of my favorite lines from him. Nicely done.
I went a different direction with my initial response to prompt 30…but decided to stick with it rather than taking a better stab at actually following the prompt. So I’m finally reading the rest of the Day 30 pieces!
It was a pleasure to share some of April’s PAD with you over at 1Sojournal.
