On Frost

[dukealien]

I stopped a while to catch my breath suggest em dashes after this, and the next line
The air was cold, the hour late
I could not see the woods for trees, elegant recasting of what would otherwise be cliche
The snow piled up so splendidly.

O pretty view, O lovely show,  I see this stanza as a refrain, which justifies variation in meter and typography
of falling, melting, frozen rain
and then again, I asked, is this 
The way to go? if not capitalizing line beginnings, no capital here

I saw no road, I saw the dark perhaps an em dash here
I saw the roots swell from the ground,
A twisted bone, the snapping sound
Of cruel and sudden injury.  See below

The ants and owl, the deer, the moss
the white and crystal fingerprints
of nature are skilfully made meter seems off here; also you might consider capitalizing [N]ature since personified
To get us lost in labyrinths. See below

I enjoyed this visualization of woods in winter.  In basic critique, in addition to the above, a few suggestions.

In general, you use "the" quite a bit.  It's a perfectly good word, but in many cases where it doesn't signal uniqueness (a priest, the Pope) it can profitably be replaced by a more descriptive word.  For example, in your third stanza, "I saw the roots swell from the ground," think about the change replacing that first "the" with "black" or even "red" would make.  Or "live" or "dead" or "gray" - lots of space every time "the" appears.

At the end of S3, a challenge:  I like cru-el with a comma instead of "and," but there's no way to ensure the reader pronounces it that way.  On the other hand, I don't like "crool" - up to you, but can you devise a way to avoid it?

And the last line.  I'm not completely sold on "labyrinths" - the metaphor could use a little preparation earlier in the work, in my opinion.  But also, "get" seems a bit informal when the poem up to there has been high-toned (for lack of a better opposite to "informal").  Not to rewrite, but could this last line be given more punch with (for example) "leave" or "place" instead of "get?"  Better than either of those, of course.

Final note:  I mostly haven't tackled line-end punctuation, which is somewhat a matter of taste.  However, just to tlet you know, the pre-21st century practice of beginning each line with a capital letter is considered archaic by many on this board.  I can take it or leave it, but using capitalization only for sentence start and proper names can make the reading flow a bit better.  You did that (mostly) in your second verse/refrain; you might consider treating the whole poem that way as you edit, to see how you like it.

As noted, a nice poem.  Looking forward to your edits.
