I love how often poets write about nature, they're such a perfect fit. <br /><br />Robert Frost spent quite a bit of time in New Hampshire and when I first moved here, I braved the far northern, mountainous part of the state to visit a house he lived in: https://frostplace.org/<br /><br />There's another Frost House in Derry, which is further south and I haven't visited that one yet, but I LOVED The Frost Place. I went in the fall, but you could already feel winter setting in - it was perfect!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02759839416399593648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18506844.post-62405711697506613282021-04-15T21:14:30.906-04:002021-04-15T21:14:30.906-04:00I had not read that poem.

I moved onto other poets in history and went to HS thinking all poetry had to rhyme. LOL <br /><br />I often think of Mary Oliver as a sort of modern Frost - the use of nature to express emotions and large concepts.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09847617735957412944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18506844.post-41492585127360267642021-04-15T09:22:20.687-04:002021-04-15T09:22:20.687-04:00Robert Frost has a special place in my heart.

I always like thinking about the spring winds clearing the way for warmer days, and this poem is so evocative of just that.
