Poems on Frost

intrepid wanderings
by Hannah

city born
rural life

cloudy days
a lone man walks

snow beneath his shoes
wind rushing in his mind

composing expressions
scenes of his America

words pulling in an
eastern direction

frost wrote poems

that speak of everyone
everytime and everywhere

Frost spoke
brave and true

passing through time
poems continue to speak.





Steady Soul
By Evelyn

Early on at home
Learning began
Standard schooling was
Not young Robert’s cup of tea

Years went by
Education, teaching, marriage
Silent poems flowing fourth
Published all the while
A spring of inspiration

Images of sorrow
Swirl through my head
As I think upon
The poet’s life
Of tragedy, of death,
Of sickness and pain
Springing from unexpected corners

Through it all
Mighty perseverance
Spurred him on
An unceasing aptitude
For capturing simple splendor
And shaping it into words
Has yet to die


Artist of language,
Craftsman of words
Arouses our souls
Will live on forever

Winter frost
Envelopes the landscape
Chill so cruel it stings
Soon sun will shine
Melting all ice away
A single blossom lingers
It has survived the freeze
