美壇活動【Poem Reading Tuesday】Snow by Frederick Seidel

Snow 
by Frederick Seidel

Snow is what it does.
It falls and it stays and it goes.
It melts and it is here somewhere.
We all will get there.

【活動說明】
欣賞了詩歌之後，歡迎大家在跟帖裏對詩歌進行點評，分享讀後感。本活動主要是為大家提供一個閱讀英文詩歌的窗口，以賞詩為主，不要求寫詩。如果大家偶爾靈感閃現，有感而發地想要寫寫詩的話，大家可以嚐試用相同的或者相關的詩歌標題，寫出不一樣的英文詩，在賞詩寫詩的過程中自娛自樂。寫出來的英文詩如果願意分享的話，歡迎以主帖或者跟帖的方式分享。謝謝大家的關注和支持！

Let's get some learning from the fun and get some fun from the learning!
