Hello everyone! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. I'm afraid I have some mildly bad news. I think this might be the last regular Poem of the Week for a while. Next semester, I will be very busy, and it's getting harder and harder to find the contemporary poems I like someplace on the web. If I find a poem that I absolutely have to share, I will most definitely post it here. Otherwise, don't expect a new poem every Monday. Sorry.
But I leave you with a poem I absolutely love. I've posted it here before, but that's only because it's so awesome. Also, it seems appropriate for this time of the year's end, when everything is tinged with a kind of nostalgic sadness. "As I Walked Out One Evening" includes some of my all-time favorite lines of poetry, and I think you'll like it. Enjoy!
As I Walked Out One Evening, by W.H. Auden
As a translated southerner, I often think the phrase "the appalling snow."
