A Patch of Old Snow

There's a patch of old snow in a corner
That I should have guessed
Was a blow-away paper the rain
Had brought to rest.

It is speckled with grime as if
Small print overspread it,
The news of a day I've forgotten --If I ever read it.Robert Frost

symbol ads to a poem is clarification and meaning. It makes poetry 
better because it reaches out to people and some may be able to relate.

Yet give it the right words and it takes wing.

I Love To Write Poems                                                                 Stanza
(First Stanza)
I love to write
Day and night
What would my heart do
But cry, sigh and be blue
If I could not write
(Second Stanza)
Writing feels good
And I know it should            
Who could have knew                                                                                         
That what I do                      
Is write, write, write
