Poetry that reads itself!

One of my wishes is that those dark trees,
so old and firm they scarcely show the breeze,
were not, as 'twere, the merest mask of gloom,
but stretched away unto the edge of doom,

I should not be withheld but that some day,
Into their vastness I should steal away,
fearless of ever finding open land,
Or highway where the slow wheel pours the sand,

I do not see why I should e'er turn back,
Or those should not set forth upon my track,
To overtake me, who should miss me here,
And long to know if still I held them dear,

They would not find me changed from him the knew--
Only more sure of all I though was true.
                                                                                    - by Robert Frost "one of my wishes"
      
       This Poem at first looks like a bunch of meaning full words put into sentences. But what i found out is that not only is it poetry but this poem tells a story. One full of beauty, fear, and life and death.  Its rhyme scheme is aa bb though out the whole poem until the last stanza.

      what i have found is that this poem shows intention on bringing inanimate objects into living creatures. For instance he uses words like breaze, track, and pour. Now what Robert does is that he uses these words like if they were a living spirit or a person. He also makes the poem stand out with its gorgeous language that would makes you feel at home.  Lastly he really uses his poetic licence like it was a drivers license constantly driving the poem threw its gratifying story.
 
    I have also come to a conclusion that this poem was written intentionally for someone he misses which makes you wonder are you reading poetry or a letter remorse. I think that Robert Frost planted words to draw you in and think about what is actually going on in this poem and what is the reader supposed to think? I think that he wants you to dream about a place you miss and think about all the details, and Robert Frost helps you do that by including lots of rich description and metaphors.

  
   One of my wishes has been one of my favorite poems my entire life. My mom used to read it to me and I never thought about the poem, I just imagined! What really makes me appreciate poetry is not the words but the idea, and being abstract is accepted in poetry and in most cases applauded. So remember next time you want to imagine without thinking pick up a piece of poetry and your dream will be fulfilled.
