BirchesI believe that much of poetry involves the senses, starting with the sense of sound. Whether it's the rhythmic flow of the poem or the simple need to recite the words for clearer understanding. The sense of sight cannot help but participate in the reading of a poem. It's like asking an artist to paint how he feels. Imagery is a key part of poetry that creates visual understanding. In the end, poetry gives voice to the unspeakable of our lives and to life itself. After reading “Birches” by Robert Frost, my senses were reeling. The poem reads beautifully and is soothing to the ear. The images also paint a scene I witnessed on many winter days growing up in the mountains. Robert Frost, despite knowing the realistic cause behind the bent birches, prefers to add an imaginative interpretation behind the bending of the birches. He also uses the entire poem to say something profound about life. I feel like it's really a message that, yes, life can get tough and we might lose our way, but there's still innocence and beauty in our world. We just have to remember. In the first section of the poem, Frost scientifically explains the appearance of birch trees. He implies that the natural phenomenon causes the branches of birch trees to bend and sway. The frost suggests that repeated ice storms are the real culprit in the bending of the branches. He, however, takes the ordinary and mundane and makes it extraordinary, even comparing the breaking of ice from trees to the breaking of the “dome of the sky.” Frost also lends sound to his description of the branches as "crashing in on themselves as the breeze picks up." Frost explains that the branches are bent by the ice, but do not break. Frost once again adds beautiful imagery comparing the bent branch......in the center of the card......we can choose to let these events break us or we can let the frozen/hard shell break free from us and find what lies beneath grew up with character and wisdom. We all have things that occasionally remind us of a more carefree and happier time in our lives. When we remember, we cross the threshold of time and distance. We love the wish in “Swinger of Birches” if only I could go back and relive that special moment. For Frost, the character in this poem is brought back to his carefree past by the birch trees. Poetry also helps us cross these thresholds of time. Poetry allows us to experience beauty and find a path to a long-buried feeling or desire. "Birches" by Robert Frost is an example of such poetry. It is full of beautiful and profound images. In an age of disbelief, “Betulle” evokes feelings, a reminiscence of innocence. It talks about what is human in each of us.
