I just finished reading "The Red Badge of Courage" by Stephen Crane. I was surprised at how much he reminded me of Robert Frost. They both use nature, color, and religious symbolism in their writing.
Birches (Excerpt)
Earth's the right place for love:
I don't know where it's likely to go better.
I'd like to go by climbing a birch tree,
And climb black branches up a snow-white trunk
Toward heaven, till the tree could bear no more,
But dipped its top and set me down again.
I'm looking forward to the poetry pod coming up. There are quite a few Frost poems in it, but I intend to read the others. Broadening my poetry collection one poet at a time.
