New poem packet!!
This week the poem I'm doing is "The Snow Man." I really liked this poem. The author uses great figurative language to describe a winter scene. I love the line "To regard frost and the boughs Of the pine-trees crusted with snow." My favorite thing about winter is how pretty the trees always are when the are totally frosted over and the sparkle in the morning!! It's so beautiful! The last stanza was the difficult one for me to understand about the person in the snow beholding nothing. I thought about those times when I admire the frozen tree's or I'm playing in the snow with my nephew and you get so tired from hiking through the 5 foot snow that you just plop down to rest for a minute. The person sitting there doesn't bring anything to the beauty of the scene. When ever I find myself resting in the snow it's to sit and appreciate the beauty around me. I'm not bringing anything to the actual beauty I'm bring admiration for it. I believe that might be what the author is trying to get at.

I hate snow, but I like the imagery this poem evokes. :)
