#7 Robert Frost: The Figure a Poem Makes

            The artist and deliberate poet Robert Frost, a hard-knocks poet with ambition to change the style of poetry. In the essay The Figure a Poem Makes, the furious invective tone and the straightforward satiric style of Robert Frost illustrates the main purpose to identify the flaws in modern poetry today. Mr. Frost addresses his audience as the modern poets calling them "Sprung-rhythmists" and how they are not emotional enough towards their own writing, "No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader." Robert Frost digresses among the main differences in poetry when he was the modern and new artist versus the time period where he had to watch and observe the new trends in poetry take over the complex and emotional original style of poetry. The appeal is very credible to the reader for the main reason that Mr. Frost was a very high-end poet himself, but at the same time he is very specific with the changes and the crucial patterns that left the hearts of the modern poetry that should have always been apart of the art. The wisdom of Robert Frost to analyze the poetry as well beginning to realize as the years go on that he is soon going to give his role in poetry to a new artist one day is easier to explain in the words of the man himself, "It begins in delight and ends in wisdom.. in a clarification of life not necessarily a great clarification such as sects and cults are founded on. But in a momentary stay against confusion." The man with plenty to say has deliberated his ferocious side and exemplified his true feelings towards the new style of poetry but has also shown maturity in the fact that he has grown to analyze and guide the new and incorporate the old.
