There are probably three things that account for Robert Frost’s poetry. In his poems, he uses familiar subjects, like nature, people doing everyday things and simple language to express his thought. His poems may be easy to read, but not necessarily easy to understand. Almost all of Frost’s poems are hiding a secret message. He easily can say two things at the same time. For example, in “The Road Not Taken”, Frost talks about being a traveler, but the hidden message is about decisions in life. In lines 19 and 20, he expresses that he did the right thing, by choosing to go down the path that made the difference.
             Also, in “Birches”, lines 48-59, it shows that the poem is about being carefree. Frost wishes he could be like the boy swinging from the birch trees. The poem sets the picture of a boy swinging from the tree branches, but he really is talking about being carefree. He says that earth is the right place for love. He says that he doesn’t know where he would like to go better, but he would like to go swinging from the birches.

Also, in “Birches”, he talks of the birch tree, and winter mornings (line 7). He also talks about rain and snow (line8-11). In “Desert Places”, he talks of woods and snow covering the ground (line 1-5).
             He shows the relationship between nature and humans. As in “Tree at My Window”, the beginning of the poem shows the intersection between humans and nature (lines 3-12). But the end suggests there are differenc...
