After paging through books of different poets and searching online I decided on selecting Stephen Crane and Robert Frost. Both are great American poets. The reason I picked them is because their poems weren’t so difficult for me to decipher. With some poets I can’t even understand what’s going on. Also in a previous English class I had read pieces of their work. Each of them have a unique writing style. This style being that both of poets never really kept their poems to a certain criteria. Some were long some were short. With Robert Frost most of his poems were lengthy and could maybe even be short first-person stories. Meanwhile Stephen Crane is also an author so his story telling ability is also evident in his poems. It took awhile to read through several of their works to find a connection in their writings. With Stephen Crane I discovered that he referred to religion and God a lot in his poems. Some of these poems reminded of the sort of stories that appeared in the Bible. However, Robert Frost mostly w

I interpreted this poem as a man dreaming for a builder to build him his “dream”. They were more like stories from the Bible. While searching on the internet I found that in the two poems I used Frost had the same amount of syllables in every line. The last line says that this made all the difference. Crane uses stanzas in this poem like Frost does but unlike Frost Crane doesn’t use rhyming. I thought Crane’s weren’t as enjoyable to read because his poems had no rhythm to them. One road is traveled often and one road barely traveled. The poem is about coming up to a split of the road. rote about simple objects around him in nature.
After searching online I picked a poem by Robert Frost that I had once had to memorize for a class. Sometimes Crane would use stanzas much like Frost would. He rhymed the last words in each line in the first, second, and last stanzas.
While Robert Frost and Stephen Crane are both great poets they don’t share much in common when it comes to their work.
