Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening ( After Robert Frost )
The path I walk is winter white
reflective on this moonlit night
o're field and glade I slowly crept
to not disturb or cause a fright
the animals who might've slept
had not I tread within my step
peaceful slumber deep in dreams
by snapping wood of broken twig
Startling their eve routines
in depth of burrow and trunk of trees
or high in branch under sky
curled all warm with families
Woodland creatures far and wide
watched my trek with open eyes
questioned motives in their minds
but I just pause with wink and smile
~

That got me reaching for my 'collected poems' to read it again. And a nice experience it was too to read it alongside yours. You've really capture 'the feel', - thank you for sharing it.

WOW! Absolutely DELIGHTFUL! I felt as though I had stumbled upon the gem of a poet established for well over a century while I rummaged through a collection of old books in a dusty attic. 📝❤📚

I’ll keep it on my radar 🙂 I’ve admired Frost for some time, perhaps this will expose me to more of his works.

Quite like frost, but this bit warmed me heart. I could smell the woods and feel the life within it.
Fantastic read

" The path I walk is winter white ... reflective on this moonlit night "
I really like that, it is itself a poem.
Metaphorical. Very deep.
