You may wonder why people love his poems so much, If you want to find out, keep reading. Firstly , Frost balances the fine line between poetic rhythm and conversational(口 语的)rhythm. A poem written with a regular form of poetic meter(诗音步) sounds great, but may be hard to understand. Frost wrote with excellent poetic rhythm, but at the same time made his poems sound like ordinary conversation. Frost's poem titled A Patch of Old Snow is a good example of this. Also , Frost is not afraid to add humor to his poetry. Of course , he always keeps his form which can make him seem a bit traditional next to modern free verse (自由诗) poets like Charles Bukowskior even William Carlos Williams.

Frost is great at sharing the beauty of the world around him with us through his poetry. Birches is a popular Frost poem that really shows us the beauty that Frost sees in birch trees.Even just the first few lines of the poem present us with amazing imagery. Last but not least, he is full of wisdom. Knowing how to get through life, being able to accept mystery, understanding the ways of the world, Frost is like a wise old man sharing his wisdom in a fun, beautiful, and conversational way.
