Comment from Patty Mazzurco

Excellent

This did in fact capture Frost. I loved how the setting feels so connected... it makes the grief feel real and close. Which we learn,sadly. The final couplet really hits on the idea that even though life around us might keep going, the pain of losing someone never truly heals.

Frost can be so upbeat in his shorter poems and so sorrowful in his longer poems. I am very pleased you think I captured him, Patty. Thank you!

Excellent

Nicely done. Your imagery is wonderful. I love your word choices especially "unhurried clouds" and "weed-choked bog". My favorote was the closing. You share a lasting impression of the permanence of loss. Great job.
