Robert Frost was one of the leading American poets of the 20th century and a four-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize. He has been a source of inspiration for many young writers and aspiring poets. Although he lived a troubled and tragic life, Frost was able to express his unique vision of nature and the world around him in the delicate art of poetry. His direct and easy-to-read poems have made him one of the country's most recognized poets. Robert Frost had the ability to make his poems accessible to anyone who read them. His use of everyday vocabulary and traditional form of poetry made it easier for readers, even if translating them is not so easy. Robert Frost's poems are very connotative in nature, which makes them very profound to read. Frost began writing poetry in the late 19th century, in the late Victorian period; when he was about fifteen. He wanted to reform poetic language away from the artificial, terribly outdated diction used by his predecessors. Frost believed that even ordinary conversation could be made poetic. However, when it comes to form and structure, Frost relied on tradition. He wrote rhymed verse and blank verse, but never used free verse. He once said, "I would rather write free verse than play tennis with the net down." It was quite obvious that Frost did not like free verse poetry. Frost used many metaphorical meanings in his poetry. From a literal perspective, "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" may actually be about the character in the poem stopping near some woods while it was snowing. Almost predictably, Frost's poem goes much deeper than that. "The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep, and miles to go before I sleep." the......middle of the paper......third grade after many tests.

He passed the entrance exam to Lawrence High in June 1888 and enrolled in the classical program. He graduated at the top of his class in 1889. Although many say that Frost's education was part of his writing, his education wasn't exactly perfect. Robert Frost was a creative and imaginative poet who created the simplest things, such as a snowy evening ("Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening"), or a door without a lock ("A Lockless Door"), a metaphorical puzzle with strokes of brain scene that only the sickest and most beautiful minds can create. Frost had created a legacy of poetry that no one can compare to.
