Excellent. I can imagine how a teacher could use this poem in the classroom.

Brilliantly written. I'm so glad I came back to read this even though I'm days and days late.

I love this and yes I collect rocks and place them into piles and grow
things around them and through them and now the snow has covered them so yes the flowers are gone but the rocks covered with white make a beautiful mound of mystery for only we know what lies beneath.

This has the same theme as one of my favorite peoms, "Ozymandius"
I think it was Shelly, or perhaps it was Poe. (It's been a LONG time, since high school) The poem described a traveler in a vast dessert, coming across a pair of stone legs of a statue, standing in the midst of an ocean of sand, with a plaque on the stone platform holding the legs, reading, " I am Ozymandius the GREAT! Behold my mighty kingdom! All one can see, in any direction, belongs to me! Behold my might, tremble and be awed!" (I paraphrase)
