Desert Places (Blog #17)

I picked Desert Places by Robert Frost as my first poem for the new semester because I really love his work. Despite the depressing mood of the poem I thought that is was enjoyable because of the comparison of nature to emotion is always very beautiful.(:

Frost describes the snow as something desolate and in a way, lonely. I really related to this because...winter is not my season and snow is not my thing; I am a summer person. Anyway, I think Frost's metaphor of his loneliness and the lonely feeling winter brings is brilliant. Even if someones favorite season is winter, they have to admit that it is the most lonely season of all.

I noticed the stanzas were rhymed verses and the rhyme scheme of the poem was:
A
A
B
A
The majority of the rhymes were masculine rhymes
and there was 4 lines in each stanza. There was a total of 4 stanzas.
The tone was reflective and melancholy.
