Flinty, moody, plainspoken and deep, Robert Frost was one of America's most popular 20th-century poets. Frost was farming in Derry, New Hampshire when, at the age of 38, he sold the farm, uprooted his family and moved to England, where he devoted himself to his poetry. His first two books of verse, A Boy's Will (1913) and North of Boston (1914), were immediate successes. In 1915 he returned to the United States and continued to write while living in New Hampshire and then Vermont. His pastoral images of apple trees and stone fences -- along with his solitary, man-of-few-words poetic voice -- helped define the modern image of rural New England. Frost's poems include "Mending Wall" ("Good fences make good neighbors"), "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" ("Whose woods these are I think I know"), and perhaps his most famous work, "The Road Not Taken" ("Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-- / I took the one less traveled by"). Frost was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for poetry four times: in 1924, 1931, 1937 and 1943. He also served as "Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress" from 1958-59; that position was renamed as Poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry (or simply Poet Laureate) in 1986.

Frost recited his poem "The Gift Outright" at the 1961 inauguration of John F. Kennedy... Frost attended both Dartmouth College and Harvard, but did not graduate from either school... Frost preferred traditional rhyme and meter in poetry; his famous dismissal of free verse was, "I'd just as soon play tennis with the net down."

Really a 2 1/2.

My edition is distinct from the ones that are listed. I possess a library edition which features lovely wood engravings. It is geared more towards young readers, presenting a blend of some classic Robert Frost and some poetry with children in mind. Overall, I had a pleasant experience. I came across some poems that I had never read before, and some of them I truly adored. However, I also read other poems towards which I felt indifferent. This is quite normal in a poetry collection, but I had initially assumed that I would love all the poems simply because it's Robert Frost. Nevertheless, overall, I still enjoyed it. And it was really nice to read something that was both familiar and new, and offered a different perspective during the crazy months of midterms, finals, and now the holidays.

It provided a welcome escape from the stress and忙碌 of academic life. The wood engravings added a charming touch to the reading experience, enhancing the overall atmosphere of the collection. Despite having some poems that didn't resonate with me as strongly as others, the collection as a whole was still a worthwhile read. It reminded me of the beauty and power of poetry, and how it can touch our hearts and minds in different ways.

I would recommend this edition to both young readers and those who are fans of Robert Frost. It offers a unique and engaging way to explore his works, and may introduce new readers to the wonderful world of poetry.

“We love the things we love for what they are.” This simple yet profound statement holds a great deal of truth. When we love something, it is often because of its unique qualities and characteristics. Whether it's a person, a place, a hobby, or an object, we are drawn to it for the very essence that makes it what it is.


For example, we might love a particular book because of its engaging story, beautiful language, or thought-provoking ideas. We might love a certain place because of its natural beauty, cultural significance, or personal memories associated with it. We might love a hobby like painting or music because it allows us to express our creativity and emotions.


Loving something for what it is means accepting and embracing it in its entirety, flaws and all. It means not trying to change it into something else or compare it to other things. It means simply enjoying it for the joy and fulfillment it brings us. So, the next time you find yourself loving something, take a moment to appreciate it for what it truly is.

This has been one of my favorite books since third grade.

I still remember the first time I picked it up. The cover was so colorful and inviting.

As I started reading, I was immediately drawn into the story.

The characters were vivid and full of life.

I could imagine them in my mind as if they were real people.

The plot was exciting and full of twists and turns.

I couldn't put the book down until I had finished it.

Even after all these years, whenever I think of this book, it brings a smile to my face.

It has taught me many valuable lessons and has inspired me in many ways.

I will always cherish this book and it will remain one of my all-time favorites.

The original article is not provided, so I can't rewrite and expand it specifically. However, I can give you a general example of how to expand an article to about 300 words while adding line breaks and using the word "beautiful".

Let's assume the original article is: "The park is nice. There are flowers and trees. The sky is blue."

Expanded version:

The park is truly beautiful.

As you enter, you are greeted by a plethora of colorful flowers blooming in all their glory.

The trees stand tall and majestic, providing shade and a sense of tranquility.

The sky above is a brilliant shade of blue, like a vast canvas painted by nature herself.

The combination of these elements creates a scene that is simply breathtaking.

It is a place where one can escape the hustle and bustle of the city and immerse oneself in the beauty of the natural world.

Whether you are taking a leisurely stroll, having a picnic, or just sitting and enjoying the view, the park offers a beautiful and peaceful retreat.

"You Come Too" by Robert Frost is a charming poem that has been a favorite among young readers since its publication in 1992.

The poem invites the reader to join the poet on a journey. Frost uses simple yet vivid language to describe the scene and the emotions involved.

It starts with the poet saying, "I'm going out to clean the pasture spring; I'll only stop to rake the leaves away." This sets the tone for a peaceful and simple activity.

As the poem progresses, the poet invites the reader to come along, saying, "You come too."

The beauty of this poem lies in its simplicity and the sense of companionship it conveys. It encourages young readers to appreciate the beauty of nature and the joy of sharing experiences with others.

Overall, "You Come Too" is a wonderful poem that has stood the test of time and continues to be loved by generations of young readers.

Frost is a wonderful subject for both kids and the grown-ups who read to them.

For kids, frost can be a magical and mysterious phenomenon. They can observe the beautiful patterns that frost creates on windows, leaves, and grass. It can spark their curiosity and imagination, making them wonder how it forms and what it means.

Grown-ups, on the other hand, can use frost as a teaching opportunity. They can explain the science behind frost formation, such as the role of temperature, humidity, and condensation. By reading about frost to kids, grown-ups can also pass on their own memories and experiences of seeing frost, creating a special bond between generations.

Whether it's through a storybook, a nature walk, or a simple conversation, exploring frost with kids can be a fun and educational experience for everyone involved.
