Poetry Friday: "Dust of Snow" by Robert Frost



A little bit of perfection, so needed in January, from Robert Frost today: 


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.

Walking out on a snowy day & noticing those small moments is what Frost reminds us to do. Thanks, Karen

A dusting of snow is like a sprinkling of confectioner sugar confectioner sugar. I love Robert Frost.

Written from a slower time and so refreshingly rewarding today, thanks Karen!
