Dust of Snow

 

Dust of Snow

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.

 

-Robert Frost

 

When I first thought of this poem a few days ago all the local pines were well-dusted in snow, but it rained all day yesterday and today was sunny and well above freezing. There's not much snow left. So I used an AI image generator for my picture. I never would have gotten a convenient crow anyway.

 

I'd like to think I'd behave like Frost and be cheered up in such a circumstance, but it's quite possible I'd just look up and think, stupid crow...more likely to have been a squirrel here in any case. 😉
