  • This is undoubetedly one of Frosts best poems (or indeed the best)...
    The rhyming scheme just rocks...never read anything like it before...It reminds me of good times when i first read it in school...
    The last stanza (last four verses) in my opinion actually are the best verses of the whole poem and have many layers of meaning in them...its upto the reader as to how he interprets it...
    My interpretation used to be that the poet is a simply great naturalist like wordsworth and hes just praising the beauty of the wild forests and mother nature...but in these comments i read that there were people who thought it is suicidal...well i dont agree with them but it might still imply towards suicide but the point that dissuades me from beleiving it suicidal is that the poet says that he has 'miles to go before he sleeps'...and also 'promises to keep' I didnt think that when once a person decides to lay down his life he thinks too highly of his unfulfilled promises...Anyway thats my opinion, dunno if anyone agrees with me...
    But one thing is for sure the poem absolutely rocks...

  • on Flower-Gathering by Robert Frost, on August 7, 2005
    The rhyming scheme in the poem is just too cool...The poem is rhythmical...Frost is a master of lyrics... for me the best part of the poem is:
    Do you know me in the gloaming,
    Gaunt and dusty gray with roaming?
    Are you dumb because you know me not,
    Or dumb because you know?
    Its just great...and also how he mentions his own worth to be cherished...when he says:
    They are yours, and be the measure
    Of their worth for you to treasure,
    The measure of the little while
    That I've been long away.

  • Th poems rhyming scheme is the coolest part...the poem is rather queer in the beginning...what with all the 'art's and 'hath's...but the ending makes it worth reading...a very good read overall...My favorite part being...
    In fear that else, when Critics grave and cool
    Have killed him, Scorn should write his epitaph.
    Perhaps I fear that scorn will write my epitaph too...

  • on A Character by William Wordsworth, on August 6, 2005
    The first stanza is the best stanza of the poem in my opinion...the way he describes the diversity of nature and all...he is truly the Poet Of Nature...and the best english poet (in my opinion again)...the way he uses these contrasts here...wish i could write like this...
