Desert Places

i've decided i'm going to write about my day, emotions, feelings, thoughts, etc...in poetry format or using another poem =D

woop-di-doo




Snow falling and night falling fast, oh, fast
In a field I looked into going past,
And the ground almost covered smooth in snow,
But a few weeds and stubble showing last

The woods around it have it - it is theirs.
All animals are smothered in their lairs.
I am too absent-spirited to count;
The lonelieness includes me unawares.

And lonely as it is that loneliness
Will be more lonely ere it will be less -
A blanker whiteness of benighted snow
With no expression, nothing to express.

They cannot scare me wiht their empty spaces
Between stars - on stars where no human race is.
I have it in me so much nearer home
To scare myself with my own desert places.


-Robert Frost, Desert Places
