Day 18: A poem

Hey there!

So it took me awhile this morning to get this posted because I could not figure out which poem I wanted to share. I eventually picked Nothing Gold Can Stay by Robert Frost because it kind of has some sentimental value. When I read it, I think of the movie The Outsiders which I watched back in High School so it brings up some memories. Plus, it's pretty so...without further adieu, here is the poem I chose: 

 

 

Nothing Gold Can Stay

By Robert Frost

 

Nature's first green is gold,

Her hardest hue to hold.

Her early leaf's a flower;

But only so an hour.

Then leaf subsides to leaf.

So Eden sank to grief,

So dawn goes down to day.

Nothing gold can stay.

 

 

Don't you just love poetry? It's so elegant and I love the fact that the writer had to really think about what he/she wanted to say and how to say it. It's mysterious to me! 

So what's your favorite poem?
