Though I'm sure we've all had our fair share of Robert Frost (As we should. He's quite good, yes?) I really liked this poem, and since my, erm, poetry blog is dusty ragged and ill-maintained...
Bereft
by Robert Frost
Where had I heard this wind before
Change like this to a deeper roar?
What would it take my standing there for,
Holding open a restive door,
Looking downhill to a frothy shore?
Summer was past and day was past.
Somber clouds in the west were massed.
Out in the porch's sagging floor
Leaves got up in a coil and hissed,
Blindly struck at my knee and missed.
Something sinister in the tone
Told me my secret must be known:
Word I was in the house alone
Somehow must have gotten abroad,
Word I was in my life alone,
Word I had no one left but God.
About Me
- Aurora
- Well, I'm a reclusive dork. Which pretty much sums it all up doesn't it?

Ooh, the end really packs a punch. At first I was wondering where on earth he was going. "Okay, cool, ominous clouds, wind, frothy shores... mmmm, froth... I need coffee."
But then you get to "I was in my life alone," and it all snaps together. I love it when poetry does that.
I'm vaguely melancholy, but satisfied.
And also, new blog template! Sweet. It's oddly familiar... :p
I do like this color scheme. It does rather look like tea. Which pretty much screams Aurora-Faye-Starr-Creature.
(Whew. Mouthful.)
Are you talking about the recent leafy green blogger template? Yeeeaaah, I actually completely didn't realize that was The Dreaming Tree until I went and looked at The Dreaming Tree a couple days ago. I was like...Hey, that's the template I have only hers is cool. :P
Now I've just managed to do weird things to it because I've been fiddling with it all night. There's random Spanish things....I'll fix it laaater.
