Robert Frost takes our imagination to a journey through wintertime with 
his two poems "Desert Places" and "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening". These two poems reflect the beautiful scenery that is present in the snow covered woods and awakens us to new feelings. Even though these poems both have winter settings they contain very different tones. One has a feeling of depressing loneliness and the other a feeling of welcome solitude. They show how the same setting can have totally different impacts on a person depending on 
their mindset at the time. These poems are both made up of simple stanzas and diction but they are not straightforward poems.
However, poetry as a whole is the art of meticulous observation and ability to express every observation into words that, potentially, move the reader into action.

His poem of desertion and neglect paired with eternal hopefulness ignite the reader in his poem “The Census-Taker.” All of the elements of a Frost poem are in this particular poem. “The Census-Taker” must be from an earlier time in Frost’s career because the poem is written in an open, free verse similar to the style of his earlier 20th century poetry like “Mending Wall” and “After Apple-Picking.” Also, the language lacks the sophisticated word selection a reader of poetry might find in Wallace Stevens and instead uses simplicity to

Comparing Frost’s "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening", "Birches", and "The Road Not taken" Robert Frost was an American poet that first became known after publishing a book in England. He soon came to be one of the best-known and loved American poets ever. He often wrote of the outdoors and the three poems that I will compare are of that "outdoorsy" type. There are several likenesses and differences in these poems. They each have their own meaning, each represent a separate thing and each tell a different story. However, they are all indicative of Frost’s love of the outdoors, his true enjoyment of nature and his wistfulness at growing old. He seems to look back

Frost begins the poem with vivid, scenic imagery to set the scene in rural New England and describe the constant working nature of the time. The first line of the poem begins by describing a buzz-saw as it “snarled and rattled” (1). The saw is being personified with animalistic qualities to emphasize its aggression as well as describe it as having a mind of its own, since no operator is described as controlling it. However in the second line the saw goes back to a machine-like demeanor as it, “made dust and dropped stove-length sticks of wood” (2). The saw makes the dust, but drops the logs, it is as if Frost is implying that the saw’s only operation is to convert dust to dust.

Possibly it is a direct result of this, since his poetry is truly so essential and major, that a great many people can’t acknowledge it as it seems to be, that they need to go seeking further furthermore, more profound into each word, period, and comma with a specific
“Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words,” Robert Frost once said. As is made fairly obvious by this quote, Frost was an adroit thinker.
