Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening by Brooke1020

This poem is by Robert Frost.  I liked this poem because it seems so simple.  I believe it is talking about stopping for a quick rest to observe and enjoy the scenery.  It takes place in the woods on a snowy evening.  I liked when he mentions, "My little horse must think it queer to stop without a farmhouse near between the woods and frozen lake the darkest evening of the year."  I love the detail there and then later he describes the horse giving a nudge to make sure that it wasn't a mistake that they had stopped.  What is so interesting in this piece is the detail that he puts in (the horse), isn't something that a normal writer would or could use to describe this event so vividly.  This of course is just my opinion.
