I remember reading some of his poems as a child, some of his easier poems of course. As I grew older, I begin to realize his importance to poetry, and read more of his meaningful works of literature. One particular poem, “ The Road Not Taken” is a poem that I read and connected with. This poem is one of Frost’s most popular piece of art, and I agree. Basically, “The Road Not Taken” is about a person who is at a crossroad, a fork in a “path”.

Robert Frost, a celebrated American poet, frequently wrote about settings relating to the rural lifestyle he grew up in and the surrounding nature to convey the themes embedded in each of his literary works. His style of writing includes emphasis on the aesthetics of language and on the use of literary techniques to develop poems with multiple layers, portraying various universal ideas. Upon analysis, Frost’s style of writing appears to be consistent from piece to piece; he utilizes the same literary devices and aspects of figurative language in similar ways. This concept is recognized when comparing Frost’s poems Nothing Gold Can Stay and A Passing Glimpse.
Robert Frost’s poems explored the nature in a rather deep and dark way. For example, his poem, “After-Apple Picking” is hidden under a mask that looks like a harvester is just tired and wants to go to sleep after a day of picking apple from tree. However, we learned that this poem has deeper meaning than what is being shown on the surface. This poem is about actually talking about death as a deeper meaning. I think it is really interesting how Robert Frost, as a poet, was able to connect two themes that are completely different and make it into a single poem.

Among the noteworthy words are also the word desire. He uses this word to preserve the rhyme scheme in a better fashion. Whenever the word desire is used it usually gets replaced by lust, this word carries a deeper more impactful connotation. By using desire instead of lust, he leaves the poem open to more variations, rather than lust which is more one dimensional. Frost equates simple desire with lust, therefore giving it a darker meaning
