Oh shoot, ding this blog totally reminded me that I forgot to go back in to get the practice multiple choice. Sorry Mrs. W, that was my bad. Please don't fail me or report me or get upset with me. Any of the above scenadios don't sound too pleasent.
Anyways for my (hopefully) last poetry blog I chose to blog about the poem Nothing Gold Can Stay by Robert Frost. I enjoyed this poem a lot because it sounds clever withthe rhyming and what not. I didn't really understand the idea of the poem though. Some seeds are gold? I honestly can't figure this one out. So I'll just look at the structure and rhyme scheme?
It is only one stanza which makes me think that it's just supposed to be matter of fact poem like Nothing Gold Can Stay period, dont ask questions or your stupid and shouldn't be reading my poetry, I'm Robert Frost. Harsh Frost. However, that doesn' change my liking for this poem and not just be ause of it's nice abab rhyming. I just feel like it's profound and nifty.
My favorite part? The last two lines.
"So Dawn goes down to day
Nothing gold can stay"
I just understood that part! When the sun rises, it's gold and beautiful, but it can't stay that way. The sun has to fully rise so that the day can begin and progress. Wait, the whole poem just clicked...
There will be things in life that are just so amazing and breathtaking, but they cant last. These grand things have to depart in order for other things to happen. Wow, I knew this poem was good stuff.
I am such a fan if Robert Frost's work.
I will refrain from reporting you to the multiple choice authorities, but get it in! ;)
ReplyDeleteI like these last thoughts: "There will be things in life that are just so amazing and breathtaking, but they cant last. These grand things have to depart in order for other things to happen. Wow, I knew this poem was good stuff." So many people interpreted this negatively--like everything is destroyed, but I really saw it like you did. Enjoy while you can! Nothing stays the same forever--and I wouldn't want it to.
