POEM OF THE MONTH

Every month I will be posting a poem. I will also be posting my analysis, this is open to debate. If you think that I have missed what the poet was trying to say please tell me and tell me what you think it is about, if you would like to add on to what I said please do so, I’m sure that I will always at lest miss one thing.

Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening
Robert Frost

Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping hereTo watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
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.


This poem is about a man who is in a dark state of mind, and he is all alone, he wants to kill himself, the horses ringing its bells represents him snapping out of it and realizing he is not done here, he has a promise to keep, and has a lot more of life to live.
