When I say what poems should I read, I mean Robert Frost poems.

he's GOAT bro

just keep doing what you're doing and make sure to read poetry out loud when you can.

Reading them out loud is something I need to do more. I usually just vocalize in my head, but it's probably not the same.

I've only read his more well-known poems, but of what I've read, 'Directive,' 'Birches,' and 'Fire and Ice' are my favorites

I like this one

Desert Places
by Robert Frost

Snow falling and night falling fast, oh, fast
In a field I looked into going past,
And the ground almost covered smooth in snow,
But a few weeds and stubble showing last.

The woods around it have it--it is theirs.
All animals are smothered in their lairs.
I am too absent-spirited to count;
The loneliness includes me unawares.

And lonely as it is that loneliness
Will be more lonely ere it will be less--
A blanker whiteness of benighted snow
With no expression, nothing to express.

They cannot scare me with their empty spaces
Between stars--on stars where no human race is.
I have it in me so much nearer home
To scare myself with my own desert places.

"My November Guest" gives me the feels every time. Give that one a go.

>>9144502
Those were some good ones. I particularly liked Directive. I liked the imagery,

>>9144503
This was also a good one. Thanks.

Huh, yeah. I can't quite place it, but definitely gives me the feels too.

Frost's popular poems are often his most inconsequential.
some examples would be :
> birches
> mending wall
> after apple picking
> an old mans winter night
his best work is often less well known
> provide provide
> the most of it
> directive
> neither out far nor in deep
> home burial
> the witch of coos
> neither out far nor in deep
> design
> time out
> in a disused graveyard
> the need of being versed in country things

PS: start with the shorter poems. the big ones have plenty of great lines in them but you are likely to miss them until you get an ear for Frost

>>9144696
That's a good list! Thank you.

Birches is so good man
>Earth's the right place for love:
>I don't know where it's likely to go better.
>I'd like to go by climbing a birch tree,
>And climb black branches up a snow-white trunk
>Toward heaven, till the tree could bear no more,
>But dipped its top and set me down again.

Also check out W.B. Yeats when you're done with Frost

I like "Stopping in the Woods to Fuck My Bitch"
