a poem by robert frost

Does this strike you as a bit over the top?


Perhaps a bit melodramatic?


Me, too. 


But consider the source - and I'm not talkin' about Robert Frost
but about sue the impossible drama queen who always turns
to poetry and song lyrics when she is looking into the abyss.

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

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.
