Fire and Ice -Robert Frost
This is another poem that I have down by memory. My brother once told me that every one should have a poem memorized in case … I’m not sure in case of what but I’ve got a few tucked away for when I need the something to run through my mind.
You may notice that a lot of my favourites are Robert Frost. There is a lot of wonderful imagery in his books. In particular, I like his shorter ones with an easy rhythm.
This poem features in my book Haven’s Guardian. My main character also has the poem memorized and recites it to herself in English class. She then uses it as inspiration for a writing exercise.
