The Clarity Of Robert Frost

The Clarity Of Robert Frost

 

With ancient tongue the words he sung were crystal clear

Nature's bliss as a lover's kiss ever near

Wisdom of the ages written on his pages

In his book take a look you fools and sages

The highest poet of his generation

A step above the ground towards salvation

Where is the lesson he so grandly displayed

As a rotted Oak poetry has decayed

With images obtuse the reader is lost

That was not the way of Robert Frost

 

A master of control he touches the soul

Connects the heart as part of the greater whole

There is movement an ever flowing stream

An awakening, a capturing of the dream

Today us poets are a miserable lot

Meaningless mantras so quickly forgot

With all our style we cannot conjure a smile

As the morning mist it shall pass in a while

The circle turns, one learns, to be complete

Humbly I lay these words before your feet

I am a knight grand on a sacred quest

To inspire, to light a fire, to be the best

I look behind to find the way ahead

It is time to act enough of this dread

Farewell to these poems of ghastly cost

I seek the clarity of Robert Frost  


The Clarity Of Robert Frost is from Polished Fragments. You will enjoy my other books as well.

To Sylvia

 To Sylvia

 

Playing rhythm guitar

Missing a string

Having a kingdom

Without a king

A brand new morn

And there is no sun

Heaven on a clear night

Not a single star in sight

That’s how life would be

To me

Without you

But the guitar strums sweet

The kingdom is complete

The sun shines rosy and grand

And heaven is just how it’s planned.
