The Snow Man

The Snow Man by Wallace Steven was a cool poem. Honestly, the only reason I did this poem was because it made me think of winters. Winters up North, and I miss those winters. I love mass amounts of snow and up there, I was never disappointed in the amount of snow delivered in a winter.  I have made so many snowmen in my life, that this poem just makes me think of all of them and all of the time and care that went into making them.

The end of the poem is definitely my favorite part of this poem because it just makes me think of the peaceful and silent snowmen that weren't just inanimate objects, but they were listening and observing.

For the listener, who listens in the snow.

I just really like that line because it just feels peaceful and makes me think of a calm winter day. In the morning when the sun is glistening off of the snow and everything is so quiet and peaceful. I like this poem because it has such great imagery, I feel like i'm looking out a window at a freshly created snowman.

  1. I do like the line you cite--however, I don't like the snow! ;) Too much California in this girl! The poem is full of imagery that makes you really see the snow.
