No snow? No problem! Bring on the wintry feelings through a poem this week. Use the season of winter as your muse for a poem that is at least ten lines long and includes at least one example of figurative language (metaphor, simile, personification, etc). Please note: your poem does not have to rhyme (we actually prefer ones that don't).
Need inspiration? Check out one of Robert Frost's well-known poems that showcases the season: 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. Robert Frost, “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” from The Poetry of Robert Frost, edited by Edward Connery Lathem.
