This Frost Brings Snow Written In Honor of Favorite Poet Robert Frost
Note: ( I proudly share the same birth date with my favorite poet, Robert Frost (3-26)
I wrote the following poem in honor of my favorite poet, Robert Frost, who was born in the same
month and date as I, March 26th, the only difference was the year, yet those years have not separated
our poetic kinship. I decided to use a similar style as was used by my childhood poet hero.
The poem is not about him, yet I have used his surname in the title as inspiration for it! I hope you enjoy it. Robert
This Frost Brings Snow
When rains attempt to touch down.
Chilled north breath freezes them;
Heaven's watery tears,
Turning inward to crystal.
So much fun to slide
On their blinding residue.
These feet used for sleds;
Not so humorous on unprepared bottom.
Still, this fresh cold oxygen,
It exhilarates older lungs.
I've breathed warmer air,
Yet from poisoned lower valleys.
Something about this frosted water,
Floating into my life.
A natural miracle from the sky;
My mind loves it before it melts.
