Across my yard in the dark,
I went vainly with some class,
but cowboy boots and ice
left me busted on my ass.
Finding the familiarity
of a place I’ve been before,
I pulled myself together,
and hobbled to my door.

A few days ago I stumbled across a Robert Frost poem I had not seen. I enjoyed it a great deal, and included it below.
Lodged
The rain to the wind said,
‘You push and I’ll pelt.’
They so smote the garden bed
That the flowers actually knelt,
And lay lodged–though not dead.
I know how the flowers felt.
