I dunno if this goes here, but since it's research-y... I'm looking for a poem that appeared on December's SAT II Literature Test. It's about how the key to poetry is the beauty generated by the clash between the expected and the real. It uses a garden in winter as a metaphor. It also talks about a relationship in which the speaker's loved one does something unexpected, much to the speaker's joy. The poem might have had either two or three stanzas of varying length. I'm sure it was twentieth century, and almost sure that it was free verse. The connection between the garden and poetry was quite explicit. Too bad I had to appreciate this poem under a time constraint. I can hardly remember the questions the test asked or pinpoint any details. Thanks for the help!

I'm not sure. Have you tried searching for the paper on the internet or asking your teacher? They'll probably have a copy issued to them by the board.
