Romantic Poem Reflection: Snowbound

I enjoyed Snowbound by Whittier because it made me think of the cheerier side of winter. The poem is very long, and chalked full of great sensory descriptions of winter. I often think of winter as just a gloomy few months where I'm held up inside because it is cold and nasty outside. Snowbound renews a childish excitement about going out and enjoying the snow. Lastly, I liked that Whittier told a story while describing winter versus poetry that just describes something abstractly.
