Subject: This Frost Brings Snow ( I proudly share same birth date with my favourite poet, Robert Frost (3-26)

Back on December 13, 2002, I wrote the following poem in honour of my favourite poet, Robert Frost, who was born in the same month and date as I, March 26th, the only difference was the year, yet those years have not seperated our poetic kinship. At that time I decided to use a similar stanza structure as my childhood poet hero, which I've continued to use until this day. The poem is not about him, yet I have used his surname as inspiration for it! I hope you enjoy it. Love, Robert

This Frost Brings Snow

When rains attempt to touch down.
Chilled north breath freezes them;
Heaven's watery tears,
Turning inward to crystal.

So much fun to slide
On their blinding residue.
These feet used for sleds;
Not so humorous on unprepared bottom.

Still, this fresh cold oxygen,
It exhilerates older lungs.
I've breathed warmer air,
Yet from poisoned lower valleys.

Something about this frosted water,
Floating into my life.
A natural miracle from the sky;
My mind loves it before it melts.
