Robert Frost
As I finish my project and review it one more time and make the final changes before I present tomorrow, I have once again reminded myself of how great a poet Robert Frost is. He has always been one of my favorite poets, but throughout this project, I have been reacquainted with my love of his work. His ability to write about nature and the simple things of life really tugs at my heart strings. I can relate to his natural themes and it reminds me of my home and childhood. Of all the poetry I have read, not a single poet through the majority of his work have I been able to relate to with the exception of Frost. Does anyone else have one particular poet who they can truly relate to and enjoy thier work no matter what?

I completely relate to your love of RF. He uses beautiful language to create such vivid imagery, especially nature imagery. One of the poems I read for my oral report was "Nothing Gold can Stay". It starts off with the lines "Nature's first green is gold, her hardest hue to hold." I find this such a fascinating detail to comment on because it is something I have vaguely noticed before when looking at a brand new leaf in the spring time, but i've never really comprehended the thought fully enough to put it in a poem. After reading this, this spring it has been so intriguing for me to watch things blossom, stay golden for literally a day and then fade away to green. Something brought to the forefront of my mind by Robert Frost.
