#POEMS ABOUT GROWING UP BY ROBERT FROST FULL#

Many Americans grow up enchanted by the simple, romantic rhymes of “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” or “The Road Not Taken,” but on reading poems like, “Design” or “Home Burial” the once simple image of Frost begins to fade until one critic’s description of Frost as a “terrifying poet” begins to ring true. But, Frost’s west coast roots and confederate namesake may be the least surprising things about him.

Sometimes a poet writes of childhood as a time of happiness, or sometimes as an uncomfortable period in which the child cannot yet live side-by-side with adults, as in James Merrill’s 'The World and the Child,' which describes the sweet pain of a child who lies in bed, separated from the adults, longing to be loved: Of Wheat they always or never had together. 'It turns out you are the story of your childhood,' Matthews wrote, 'and you're under constant revision.'
