The shattered water made a misty din.
Great waves looked over others coming in,
And thought of doing something to the shore
That water never did to land before.
The clouds were low and hairy in the skies,
Like locks blown forward in the gleam of eyes.
You could not tell, and yet it looked as if
The shore was lucky in being backed by cliff,
The cliff in being backed by continent;
It looked as if a night of dark intent
Was coming, and not only a night, an age.
Someone had better be prepared for rage.
There would be more than ocean-water broken
Before God’s last *Put out the Light* was spoken.

That really proves that this continental poetry is doggerel.
I enjoy the feeling of being pushed back throughout the Frost piece above.

THEY brought me rubies from the mine,
And held them to the sun;
I said, they are drops of frozen wine
From Eden’s vats that run.
I looked again,–I thought them hearts
Of friends to friends unknown;
Tides that should warm each neighboring life
Are locked in sparkling stone.
But fire to thaw that ruddy snow,
To break enchanted ice,
And give love’s scarlet tides to flow,–
When shall that sun arise?

When falls the dark
I hear they cry colours
in graffiti of wall…
they throw to me in the eyes
the stolen sunbeams,
front they die,
each night.

So many poets is writ’n their proses
Pickin’ their noses
Suckin’ their toeses
Avoidin’ all traces of pleasure and power
Simply because they refusin’ to shower!

Frankly, I think Robert Frost gets a little corny here.

I haven’t read many Frost poems beside the “greatest hits”. This one was lovely even if corny.
June 24, 2008 at 2:43 am |
Frost’s poetry always mindblowing for me, great works.

What a great poem – hugely atmospheric and wild.

Samuel Johnson said poetry is not so much heard as overheard. That’s the essence of haiku–add yours to my site above and enjoy poetry there contributed by others.
