“The Figure a Poem Makes” by Robert Frost is about his perception of how poetry should be viewed by people. Frost says that all poems have their own unique characteristics from each other and always have a moral that readers can benefit from while enjoying themselves. Each poem "begins with joy and ends with wisdom (Frost, 630)." Poems make readers discover something they didn't know before. Frost also said that poetry cannot be truly understood through logic alone, but readers can evaluate it through their own emotions. The essay also mentions “no tears in the writer, no tears in the reader. No surprise for the writer, no surprise for the reader (Frost, 631).” This phrase also suggests the feelings the writer puts into his work by connecting to the readers' feelings. This is probably one of the best goals a writer can ever achieve, to be able to connect with their readers and show their feelings through writing. That said, not all of us like poetry and some may argue that Frost's view of the poems may not always be true. People who tend to approach things the same way will get the same results every time, which in this case will probably get the "fun", the entertainment, but after reading the same poem a couple of times it gets old, dry and boring . Some are just lazy or do it simply because they have to. If a person doesn't care about what they are doing, they will most likely get neither pleasure nor the moral of the story because they are just doing it to get the job done. They are not so passionate as to dig deep to grasp the internal message in each poem. If the reader is not devoted enough to make an effort to really feel or understand what the poem or the author of the poem… in the center of the paper… kes” is pertinent to both the connection between readers and writers when they read or they write poetry. When he said “Like a piece of ice on a hot stove, poetry must ride out its own melting. (Frost, 630)” He is saying that both writers and readers must come together and share their emotions, because of this it will never lose its meaning to the reader as it will leave a mark in both of them. One of Frost's famous observations was that every poem should "begin with joy and end with wisdom (Frost, 630)", meaning that each poem has enough uniqueness to be separated from the others which attracts readers to continue reading but also to acquire wisdom or wisdom. learn new things from it. Poems are like us. One is different from the other. Each individual has their own distinctive characteristics that make them unique. Whether this characteristic is good or bad, it makes a person stand out from others.
