Emergency IT Lesson 2: Favourite Poet

Robert Frost (1874-1963)
"A poet never takes notes. You never take notes in a love affair."
Robert Frost’s strong love for poetry writing and appreciation empowered him to pursue this career as a poet. This entry will include my opinion on him and his works after research, and a sketchy background of his life. Also, 3 of his poems will be featured.
The shortest of his poems I’ve ever read are only 40 words long (entitled “Nothing Gold Can Stay”), even smaller than a microfiction; the longest I’ve read of his poems are a colossal 1409 words long (called “The Death of A Hired Man”), enough to fill an essay.

My interest in his poems lies the consistent taste of originality always present in his writing. He writes from his heart; yet it’s not easy to appreciate his poems just at a glance. Sometimes it requires a second reading, but his poems are somehow captivating – you won’t really feel like stopping unless you have no idea what he’s writing about.

Robert took interest in reading and writing poetry in high school in Lawrence, Massachusetts. His first professional poem, "My Butterfly," was published on 8 November, 1894, in the New York newspaper The Independent. Until her death in 1938, his wife, Elinor Miriam White, whom he married in 1895, became a major inspiration in his poetry.

In his poems, there’s much description and observations, all of which sound very real, but occasionally this brings along monotonousness. Yet his works are still completed with finesse; it’s still a privilege to read his poems. Here are three of them (since a couple of them are too long; we won’t want a long scrolling page here):
