Robert Frost is considered by many to be one of the greatest poets of the twentieth century. Frost's work has been considered by many to be unique. Frost's poems are set primarily in nature, and it is through nature that he uses engaging vocabulary to immerse the reader in the poem. In the poem "Hardwood Groves", Frost uses a hardwood tree that is shedding its leaves as a symbol of the vicissitudes of life. “Frost recognizes that before things in life rise again, they must fall” (Bloom 22). Frost's sentence structure is long and complicated. Many meanings of his poems are not revealed to the reader at first glance, but only after careful introspection of the poem. The true meanings contained in Frost's poems are usually life lessons. Frost uses the symbolism of nature and incorporates that symbolism into everyday life situations. The speaker in the poems varies, in the poem "The Pasture", Frost seems to be directly involved in the poem, while as in the poem "While in the Rose Pogonias", he is a detached observer, observing and speaking of the world's beauty. Subsequently, the author transfers that beauty to the beauty of experiences that are obtained through everyday life. Robert Frost's intricate meanings are expressed in such a way that the reader has to delve into the poem much more than he does when he simply reads it. . The poet has one main theme in all his poems and that theme is nature. Nature is something Frost has always been able to identify with. In nature Frost sees life, people and life situations. In the poem “After Apple Picking,” he uses the situation of a man picking an apple as another life lesson. Picking apples is a tedious job where you have to observe and pick the ripest apples... middle of paper... there is. The characters that Frost's poems are about paint clear pictures of what he predicts readers will get from the poems. The characters could be nature, animals or people used as symbols. The poems are always understandable, even if there is no clear plot within the poem. Robert Frost wrote poems about nature and it is that nature that he used as symbols for life lessons. Many critics were fascinated by how Frost managed to derive so much of life's meaning from nature itself. Frost's poetry appeals to almost everyone for its uncanny ability to connect to many things one is too familiar with and for many, this is life itself. “Perhaps that's what keeps Robert Frost so alive today, even among people who have never set foot in Vermont, writing about New England, Frost writes about all over the world” (294).
