Icy

One icy morning I looked out my window 
& saw the most beautiful crow flying in the snow 
I watched it land in a very icy tree.
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.


(Rue means 'sorrow or regret' so "Of a day I had rued" means a day I regretted having.)

  4. Oh, Annie,
    What a fabulous shot! You certainly captured a crystalline moment. I love the way you paired it with the poem by Robert Frost, one of my favorite poets. I'll look forward to more blog posts from you. Hopefully, you'll inspire Emma to post more frequently. I'm addicted to your mom's blog.
    Smiles,
    Mrs. Stanley
