Afflicted with the Frost

| | Comments (3)

**Hey all.  Last year in Introduction to Literature, we were asked to parody Frost's Aquainted with the Night.  Since we're on to Frost again, I thought I'd post this.  (I'm actually a Robert Frost fan, this was just written after a particularly Frost-heavy week)

Afflicted with the Frost -Josie Rush


I have been one afflicted with the Frost,
I have read over poems and under poems,
I have felt the cause was lost.
 
I have received assignments with a groan,
I have copied verses with a sigh,
Since I must revisit the Less Traveled Road.
 
I have Stopped by the Woods to cry
I have prayed to gain endurance with age,
Since I'll be reading Frost until I die.
 
I have dried my tears on a well-worn page
While I watched the Woods fill up with snow,
Forever trapped in Bobby's cage,
Knowing I still have miles to go.
Knowing I still have miles to go.

I remember this! Very funny! But you already used it for Lit so you can't use it for Poetry.

Josie, I remember you reading this in class! Dr. Arnzen loved it hahahaha, and mine was absolutely terrible. However, this is such a good way to set off a Frost unit. Thanks for the laughs :).
