Some Frosties in a Row Tom Matkin

This is a poetic journey. Working around and through the form of Robert Frost's poem "Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening" I began writing poems. The form was difficult and restrictive, at first, and then it became easy and liberating. Finally I felt like I had exhausted it, and I needed something more substantive. That's when I turned to the sonnet. But this book is my journey, which actually began with the limerick, to the sonnet. It was a fun trip so I'm sharing it.
