Stephen Fry is great at explaining it all, and it helped me appreciate poems from another angle. Go on, give it a go. :)

aye i will harry, no snecklifter for me tonight (january a long, long month!!!!!!) so i may have a bit of concentration available!

Why is it when I googled "Poem Snecklifter" the first website is the FRA Forum "Today's Poetry" thread , followed by Sylvia Plath?

It was wrong, but oh so right
The timing was out
It should have happened years ago:(
A Nony mouse!

Dust of Snow
Robert Frost

The way a crow
Shook down on me
The dust of snow
From a hemlock tree

Has given my heart
A change of mood
And saved some part
Of a day I had rued.

This is one of my favourite Frost poems!

Well Merry, timing seems to be very important with so many things in life. There have been cases of the time was right but it was wrong; the time was wrong but it was right; not enough time to get it right and it was wrong and the time was wrong!:( (Looking forward to a time was right and it was right scenario!)

I do hope A Nony Mouse has better luck soon.

Makes perfect sense to A Nony Mouse and he says thank you;)

merry's raw emotional three liners are brilliant like tri-mind's amazingly personal insights into his life. Ths thread continues to be fantastic. Hope you're okay Mr Mouse (A) :)
