Robert Frost fills his poems with intelligent themes that deal with how people live their lives from day to day, and how people as a whole build up their lives with a wall around them so that no one can penetrate their most private thoughts and beliefs, as stated in “The Mending Wall.” His poem “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” is my personal favorite because I enjoy the theme he is trying to show through his poetic words. People are too busy in life to stop and smell the roses. Most of ones life is often spent rushing to the next biggest milestone in life, we rarely take the time to look back and reflect on our own lives, nor do we stop to appreciate everything that makes living possible. A favorite poem of Frost for everyone, “The Road Not Taken” also has a theme that hits close to home a little bit for everyone. The poems theme states that life is full of choices, and as free thinking people, we have to choose the paths in life that are best suited for ourselves. As an author, Robert Frost, I feel, captured the minds of his readers, diving deep into their lives making them think about his poems and applying them to life’s journey.
