A Dust of Snow I write epigrams--highly concise, rhymed lines with a pithy and often surprising ending. Here is an example from Robert Frost that is my paradigm, a perfect poem, the standard to which I aspire:
The way a crow
Shook down on me
The dust of snow
From a hemlock tree
Has given my heart
A change of mood
And saved some part
Of a day I had rued.
Dust of Snow (1923)
