Robert Frost

I really LOVE Robert Frost!  I have included my favorite poem of his at the end of this post. His poetry is descriptive and has many meaning. I really enjoyed the four poems we were required to read for class. Also In the past I have read many of  his other works. I enjoy most all  of his poetry.


He is a more modern writer. He lived from 1874-1963. I am sure she saw so much change in his life and I wonder is that was influence on his poetry. He was well recognized for his works receiving 4 Pulitzer prizes over his lifetime. Many authors/artists of the past are not recognized for their greatness until after they have passed. His work was appreciated when it was written and is still appreciated today!

1. The Road Not Taken

TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth;         5 Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same,         10 And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back.         15 I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.         20
