This is not my favorite Frost poem, but it is my first Frost poem. Dropped within another book I was reading at age 9, I never forgot it. While I wrote short stories at the time, it was my inspiration to write poetry.
Nothing Gold Can Stay by Robert Frost
Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
so dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
The poetry is moving. I'm in the process of moving the poetry to:
thepoetryportal.blogspot.com
Once it's all moved, it will come down from this site. Short stories will remain here, and any personal poems written for friends here.
I'll still be here. Reviewing, checking on friends, posting short stories.
Please drop by for a visit, leave a comment, rip me in a review, it's all good. Visitors are always welcome. :)

What Mythological Creature are you?
You Scored as Faerie
(is anyone surprised by this result? lol)
Faerie: Aren't you a cute little flying person? Faeries are earth spirits. They live among each element completely hidden. They have cousins called Pixies. Pixies however, are very mischevious. They enjoy tormenting other creatures for fun. Little pranksters.. I hope you never meet one. Pixies have a bad reputation for finding a creature and clinging to them until death. Faeries can be somewhat close to a Pixie, but mostly they are loving, playful, and carry with them a child-like enthusiasm for life. Hide among the pedals of a Daisy, you are a Faerie.
