Stars
HOW countlessly they congregate
O'er our tumultuous snow,
Which flows in shapes as tall as trees
When wintry winds do blow!—
As if with keenness for our fate,
Our faltering few steps on
To white rest, and a place of rest
Invisible at dawn,—
And yet with neither love nor hate,
Those stars like some snow-white
Minerva's snow-white marble eyes
Without the gift of sight.

I choose the poem Stars from A Boy’s Will, by Robert Frost because the title Stars caught my attention and it reminded me of when I see the stars in the sky at night. Then when I read It was difficult to understand it but I still choose it.
Frost’s used the literary device Simile in these two lines:
"Those stars like some snow-white" - comparing the snow-white with the bright white stars.
"Which flows in shapes as tall as trees"- i think it means the snow falls from the sky n flows on air n into the top of the tall trees.
