The crow and hemlock are two objects that have bleak characteristics. The
crow has been associated with death for ages, furthermore, crows are black,
a color that we connect to the darker things in life. The hemlock tree is
actually poisonous though not all species are dangerous. So in my humble
opinion, the poem illustrates how quickly someone can have a "change of
mood" when death looms overhead. It shows us how, death, can actually send
a clump of gleaming white hope that will shake us out of our rut.

That's how I see it.

Dust of snow by Robert Frost only has one sentence divided into two
stanzas. The rhyme scheme used in this poem is: a b a b / c d c d. Eye
rhyme is used, e.g: “crow” and “snow”. I think this poem inspiring because
we have neglected the familiar things beside us too long, and what’s worse,
none is willing to remind us and we also want to recognize or accept the
fact. One of us need “crow” that has awakened Robert Frost from his
depression.

I have been read Robert Frost Poems since.. i don't know when. i have
always LOVED his way of writing. The poems that are ten pages long, don't
ever ever rhyme or make sence bug the shit out of me. I get his poems, i
love his form, his rythm, his style. HES AWESOME! i especially love the all
famous "Two roads diverged in a yellow wood... and itook the one less
traveled by" Oh man is that one awesome!:)..

Robert Frost wrote this poem to make people stop and think and appreciate
what life has given us. I really like this poem. It makes me think what
life is really about

This poem is basically about the author being out in nature and not really
taking in the beauty of the wintery scene, when a crow in a tree shakes
some snow on him and he begins to realize the beauty before him. This is
the change of mood mentioned and the beauty and fun of the day is what is
being saved.

i think that the "Dust of snow" was a good, understandable poem.

This little poem is big hearted. It gives freely of the re-orientation to
the real world that a bit of nature provides.
