Question:
Help interpreting a poem!!?
Can someone help me interpret this poem, like whats going on. I find this confusing. And also identify the speaker, situation, and tone.
Title: Dust of Snow
The way a crow
Shook down on me
The dust of snow
From a hemlock tree
Has given my heart
A change of mood
And saved some part
Of a day i had rued.
*serious responses please! :D

Poetry cannot really be defined, it's art.
The write is trying to capture the feeling a person would get, sitting under a tree where a crow shook snow down onto him. From the last few lines, it seems the person may have been sitting there unhappy or sad, and the snow the crow shook onto him caused his mood to change, and saved his day from the bad mood.
that's what i get from it anyway.
