on Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening by Robert Frost, on July 14, 2007

Robert Frost's Stopping by Woods
Frost is indeed a genius and he reveled in playing with words that messed with our minds. Simplicity of image was his forte and he used it well in his poem.
I like the idea that the owner of the woods here is God and even if God is all knowing, Frost would be all too eager to play on his spiritual knowledge that to try to lock God into one building is absurd, so his saying that the owner would not see might be some of Robert's sharp sarcastic wit for us to enjoy.
This is such a wonderful poem to read over and over again.

on Not Waving but Drowning by Stevie Smith, on January 30, 2006
When I turned to my mother later in life and cried my heart out to her about my horrible life, she said "But honey you always had such a good head on your shoulders!" The line from this poem came to me then....Mom, "I was much further out than you thought and not waving but drowning" When I decided to stop dog paddling the levy of tears broke through and I drowned. Love this poem.
