I would like to share with you some of the notes, messages and suggestions, readers have 'stopped by' to send to me. The website has been much appreciated and my efforts have been more than compensated for. It has also received a couple of awards but these messages are my trophies. These have motivated me to come back after almost 2 years to update the site and share more about Robert Frost and his poetry with you. Thank you all and keep writing.

Best wishes

Notes from all over

The more we read of Frost, the more we grow in awe of him – his intellect, his thinking, his feelings, his understanding and his expression. Each poem strikes a chord somewhere, each poem brings us closer to life, makes us appreciate lifefs simple pleasures, see in birds, flowers, fruits and streams the wonders of nature.
Each poem is like a journey of self-discovery, of life. And those jewels of thought that are found embedded here and there among the seemingly simple poems – so profound that they catch you off guard. Such depth of feeling, of wisdom – such a way with words that hits you at once and lingers long afterwards too - also gathering wider meanings and interpretations.

For Frost, poetry and life were one and the same thing. In an interview he said, eOne thing I care about, and wish young people could care about it, is taking poetry as the first form of understanding. Say it: my favorite form of understanding. If poetry isnft understanding all, the whole world, then it isnft worth anything. Young poets forget that poetry must include the mind as well as the emotions. Too many poets delude themselves by thinking the mind is dangerous and must be left out. Well, the mind is dangerous and must be left in.f

Although wefd created this site for Frostfs lesser known poems, we get so many mails from people wanting to know about the better known ones (at least what we thought were so). So this time the spotlight is on two of his popular poems.
