To just say Frost was a talented poet would be the same as saying Albert Einstein was a smart man. While both statements are true, they simply are too vague and can not make justice of these men. Robert Frost had a way with words, and his poems explored themes of nature and duality. While his poems have an optimistic tone, they don't forget the more dark aspects of nature.
Duality was one of the aspects that interested me more of Frosts poems. Poems like Design, Desert Places, Fire and Ice and Nothing Gold can Stay can seem simple at first sight, but have deeper meaning behind them. There is a contrast between what its written and what he writes about, and this speaks to me.
