MY POEM

I chose my poem because there is not many that I like but I like this one. I like this poem because I could actually picture my self stopping and watching the woods fill up with snow. I feel good that I will do good reading this poem in front of the classroom. I also like this poem because I like the way it flows.
I haven't really prepared for the competition yet. But all I need to do is memorize it and practice how I am going to say it. Yes, I think i might be able to get in the top 10. I feel that this poem will be easy for me to read well.

Poem

By reading the title "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" I pictured a kid stopping in someones yard and playing in their snow. I was wrong the poem was about someone driving a sled pulled by a horse, who stops and watches someone yard fill up with snow. When Robbert Frost says "To stop without a farmhouse near" I could picture it snowing out in the country and someone stopping and watching the snow.
I chose this poem because this is the poem that i have to memorize for poetry out loud. I also choose this poem because this is one of my favorite poems. This poem doesn't relate to me at all. But someone might relate to this by sitting and watching time go by.
