In the last two weeks, I have been reading poems, one of which was Robert Frost’s “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening.” I was mainly drawn to this poem because of its beautiful imagery and the dreamy thinking of the speaker. The gentle description of the snowy woods and the repetition of the line “And miles to go before I sleep” struck a chord with me, making me reflect on my life’s journey and responsibilities. However, I have also come across some poems that have left me feeling confused. Some works, with their abstract or complex themes, challenge my ability to understand their actual meaning, leaving me with an awkward feeling towards poetry. I find some poems amusing, but most of the time some still confuse me.
One thought on “Amen Qureshi, Week 6”
I agree with you, the poem “Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening” was both interesting and beautiful. The clear description of the snowy scenery and the repeated use of important phrases like “And miles to go before I sleep” made it simple to understand. The poem looks at the beauty of nature, which made it more interesting for me.
