FAVORITE POEMS
I remember reading and discussing this poem when I was in school. I love winter and snow and I thought it was “cool” that the poet’s name was Frost.
by: Robert Frost
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
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 the 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.
I also like anything from Shel Silverstein and my students do too!
GOD’S WHEEL
God says to me with kind of a smile,
“Hey how would you like to be God awhile
And steer the world?”
“Okay,” says I, “I’ll give it a try.
Where do I set?
How much do I get?
What time is lunch?
When can I quit?”
“Gimme back that wheel,” says God,
“I don’t think you’re quite ready yet.”
Shel Silverstein

I especially like the reason behind the concrete poem. The poem is great and a wonderful memory for you and Mackenzie to remember your trip.
