A month of poems: Day one
This April is the 24th National Poetry Month, a celebration established and organized by the Academy of American Poets. Throughout the month, there are a number of specific events including Poem in Your Pocket Day, April 18, and the Dear Poet project. Every school day this month, the King Street Chronicle will publish one poem in honor of National Poetry Month.
Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
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.
