Robert Frost, a Great Poet

A Great Poet
Robert Frost is one of the greatest poets of the twentieth century. The ease of reading and the simple language of his poetry are the reason that his poetry is studied by nearly all students of literature today. Unlike a lot of poetry that must be dissected and interpreted to gain an understanding of its inner meaning, Frost uses scenes from nature that are easily recognizable to nearly everyone to convey his messages. Although there are those that do not consider Frost as a classical poet, claiming that his style is too simple and average making it sentimental, saying "The human average has never been admirable..., and that is why literature which glorifies the average is sentimental rather than classical" (Winters). However, it is hard to argue that he is not a classical poet when many of his poems "have mattered to millions of readers" (Schilb and Clifford 105). Whether Frost is considered to be a classic poet or not is simply a matter of opinion.
