My favourite poet.
Relating life to poems
My favourite poet would be Robert Frost. I find Robert Frost's poem very interesting as they all share the same style. He likes to write about small things that occur in our daily lives and make it interesting. Like for example, in his poem Christmas Tree, he talks about his descision wether or not to sell his christmas trees which he grew to a stranger and how he was not willing to sell them to the stranger at any price and finally came to a descision not to sell them. The way he decribes his poems is as if he is decribing something that happened to him before, maybe an interesting event that happened in his life and in fact, his work is principally associated with the life and landscape of New England when went there in 1912. So, we can actually relate to his life through his poems! Another example would his poem After Apple-picking. He talks about how he was sick of apple-picking and apples, so much so to the extent that he dreams about it has nightmares about it at night after apple-picking. Once again, in this poem we can sense a very "farmhouse" feeling it and indeed, Robert Frost did lived in a farm! This really intrigues me.
Influences in life
Now let's talk about his life which another thing which I like about him. Robert Frost is an American who moved to England after his farm failed. In England, he met and is influenced by such contemporary British poets as Edward Thomas, Rupert Brooke, and Robert Graves. While in England, Frost also established a friendship with the poet Erza Pound, who helped to promote and publish his work. So he not only writes great poems, but he is also influenced by many other great poets, which is why some of his poems are very different from on another.
Nature in poetry
Last but not least, I like Robert Frost because of the way he always talks about nature in his poems. Like for example, we have the famous poem The Road less taken which gives you a feeling of spring and even a very short poem, Nothing Gold Can Stay which relates the idea that nothing good remains to nature and many many more.
To sum it all up, I would say that Robert Frost is indeed an inspiring poet and even after his death, his poems continue to tell his life story.
