If I like it: Yes, I like this poem. It seems/feels so intimate, yet somehow I feel connected to the character.
What emotions are there:I believe the emotions a reader would feel would be sorrow, pity, despair, grief, and helplessness because he/she has no power to help the abused.
What I would add to make it better: I probably wouldn't, perhaps start posting it publicly to sites like 'Wattpad', to get a wider perspective from public comments.
Answer:
According to research, humour contributes to a person's health by relieving stress which can reduce the chances of cardiovascular conditions and diseases.
Researchers have also found that humor can help people remain resilient in the face of adverse circumstances. A Doctor Bonanno for instance, found during an interview that young women who had been sexually abused and were able to laugh or smile while he interviewed them had better chances of getting better than those who did not.
Another research which involved teenage gang members noted that using laughter and humor to deflate a situation can free one of more anxiety thus enabling them to properly analyse situations that they thought too adverse for them with a calmer mind.

<em>A crow knocked some snow down onto the speaker </em>
<em>This is the event that causes the speaker to reflect in the “Dust of Snow.”</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>
Robert Frost’s poem “Dust of Snow,” is about being optimistic. The poet was sitting under a Hemlock tree when a crow knocked down some snow particles on him. This simple incident struck a different chord of the poet’s mind and changed his view about life completely. So he thinks it is ironic that a crow not related to goodness did a good deed and evoked the sense of finding positive in negative situations. This small event led to the shift of the poet’s mood from hopelessness to hope.
