Frost Haiku

You've been there, I'll bet.
So exhausted you could cry?
And still miles to go.


(c) Ellen Gillette, 2013


As a 6th grade teacher, I had the class memorize Frost's "Stoppping
By Woods on a Snowy Evening" and recently read the poem aloud
to a high school class for which I was subbing. It's such a great poem,
but the best part about it is those last two, often-quoted lines: "And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep." That's me today. The end of a work day, but only halfway done with everything I need to accomplish before I go to bed tonight.
