Love Thursday: Love with Frost

21 CommentsThursday • March 4, 2010 • by michelle

Friend and faithful reader Lucy of On My Way 2 Work and Other Stuff sent in a this adorable photo:

with the note:

Here is the frosty heart inside my car window one Saturday morning. My windows frost over inside and outside if I don’t park it in the garage! But this was nice to see and reminded me of you!

So sweet! And, in turn, this photo reminded me of one of my favorite poems by Robert Frost:

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.

Somehow this poem always manages to give me a warm fuzzy despite the cold overtones. Frost was truly an amazing wordsmith.

What are your favorite poems?

Happy Love Thursday everyone!
