Oh I just meant a poem to be memorized this month. It needn't be December-themed. I thought you might have a suggestion. I picked up The Rhodora quick.

Did you do "Acquainted with the Night" already (Frost). Another very good to know poem is this one behttps://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/theodore-roethke

"The Waking" Theodore Roethke

Roethke it is. Already have one Frost committed.

Thanks!

Please post the list of memorized poems somewhere. You might want to memorize something more fun and useful. "The Charge of the Light Brigade" perhaps, any of Hamlet's soliloquies, or the Gettysburg Address, perhaps.

Maybe I'll add my poem memorization project to my profile. Or I can make a post for it and save it. I'll do that.
