Fire and Ice

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

-- Robert Frost


Or: damn, it's cold, and it's only March.

That poem is special for me, not in itself, but because my very favoritest sixth-grade Writing teacher read it aloud to us, then told us that it meant a lot to her becaause it described her relationship with her daughter's father.

I love teachers who aren't afraid to be honest with their class- I think it makes the classes more interested especially in something so hit-or-miss and subjective as poetry...
