I need to find a poem and analyze it, I don't know any good poems, I was thinking some of you literature freaks can help me out

Favorite poem hmm....
Nothing Gold Can Stay by Robert Frost

Well I saw it but it's really hard to analyze + I think it's to short xD.

Thanks though, you're the only one who actually commented.

Help me I need to find one for tomorrow....

these are my favourite two poems:

Fire and Ice

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

(Robert Frost)


Sonnet 18

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this and this gives life to thee.

(William Shakespeare)

Lmao, i was about to suggest Fire and Ice as well - i have it memorized, perfect poem to analyze

Everyone does Robert Frost, I'd suggest some T.S. Elliot or Silvia Plathe
