The First Snowfall

A romantic poem we read this week was called "The First Snowfall."It is really a captivating poem. It takes about a father mourning his dead daughter through his other daughter, and how the snow reminds him of her burial.It's really touching because he is taking something so pretty and it's bringing on memories and he's letting her know he still cares for her even though she isn't there with him. Poelpe saying losing a child is one of the worst things in the world and it makes since why he wrote of it. Romantic poems are used to write about personal things and nature and how it affects the writers life. Awesome poem!
