When I was 12 years old I watched the Kennedy inauguration on TV and heard Robert Frost. I did something very naughty and lied about my age to join the BOMC so that I could get his book of poetry. I did use my babysitting money to fulfill my membership. I might not understand what Frost wanted me to understand, but there is a deep beauty to his work and that reached in and grabbed my heart.

Across maybe forty years I've written 8 "riffs" on Frost's poem. His work always resonates with me ... we share a birthday ...my mother heard him read when she was in college in the 1930's. So this is wonderful because of that, but also because of the prompt for reflection and planning.
