Wait Who Robert Frost

Introduction 


Robert Lee Frost is famous American poet. It all started in March 26 1874, in San Francisco. After he was born shortly after he moved to Pennsylvanian with his father William Prescott Frost Jr. and his mother Isabelle Moodie. They had moved shortly after they were married, shortly after they had moved his dad had died from Tuberculosis, he was eleven years old when his father had died. He had moved with his sister and mother. His sister was Jeanie who was only two years younger than Robert Frost when he had moved. At High school he had his interest in poetry in 1874. Things that had inspired him was his jobs as he grew up which were a Farmer, Cobbler and editor of  Lawrence Sentinel. His first poem was "My Butterfly", it appeared in November 8th 1894. Two interesting facts about him was that Frost had married and had two children and also his Grandfather agreed to buy him a farm if he had worked on it for 10 years.



This is Robert when he was old.

THERE’S a patch of old snow in a corner
  That I should have guessed
Was a blow-away paper the rain
  Had brought to rest.
 
It is speckled with grime as if        5
  Small print overspread it,
The news of a day I’ve forgotten—
  If I ever read it.

The message that he is trying to get across in this poem is that he tells that winter will not last long and before you know it will be spring. This poem made me chose this because it had showed a valuble meaning because it tells me that spring will come soon if you wait. In this poem since it was the old days I dont think that people had delivered Newspapers in the Winter because it was to cold. I would relate this poem to me because I don't like winter that much because I can not go outside and it is cold in the winter, also I am eager for Spring or Summer just like in the poem. I think that Robert was happy when he had wrote this poem because winter had just gone away and I would feel that way to.
