Three poems of my choice

1) Surprised by Evening- Robert Bly

2) The Trail is not a Trail- Gary Snyder

3) Poem to be Read at 3 a.m.- Donald Justice

These trails all have a mellow tone and a nice story.  Story is the most important aspect in any poem, song, or movie followed by tone.  Poem to be read at 3 a.m. was a bit funny to me since it was just depicting a drive through a town and what the writer happened to notice.  Especially when he states that the poem was for whoever had the light on.  That made me laugh and so i decided to like that poem even more than others that I have read so far.
