i think the poem "stopping by words on a snowy evening" is saying that the writer of the poem is stopping in the woods to watch another guys woods fill with snow. the writer knows that the guy who owns that wood is not there so he wouldnt mind the writer stopping and looking at them. the horse thinks its weird that hes stopping without a farmhouse near and its the darkest day of the year. the horse shakes the harness because he is wondering if there is a mistake. the only other sounds there are the wind and the snow. the writer think the words are dark and deep. he has promises and responsibilities to keep and miles to go before he sleeps.
i chose this poem because it is probably something i would do. i probably would just stop and look at the snow falling even though i had things to do. i like this poem because i kinda understand what he feels like sometimes. in the poem it says "the woods are lovely,dark and deep," i think that could also mean his life is like that and he isnt all that happy.

I like what you had to say about this poem. I've thought a lot about it since memorizing and practicing it for Poetry Out Loud, and I like how you said you could relate to the feeling of wanting to stop and watch the snow even though you knew you had other things to do. That sounds really nice right now (that I have a ton of blogs to grade!)
...I hope it snows soon!
