Well, I am no Frost expert... but here is my interpretation.\n\nThings are what they are, always have been and will always be what they are.  However, people now try to turn things into what they aren't.  Who knows what they will try and change next.  But no matter who tries to change you into what they want you to be, remember you are who you are, who you have always been, and you will continue to be you.\n\n(make sense).

I'm sure this is part of a poem...An accurate translation would require to read the entire poem. My attempt to translate this: I am nervous when kissing, and would like to try out this love affair...\n\nHope my guess is right.

Being a poet myself, I have to say it's a good poem, but what it's saying is you are not really dealing with the pain and hurt too well. My heart goes out to you. I hurt for you, and also, identify with you. I'm compiling a book of my poems, called "Pain On Paper". The poetry for us is a release of our pain...........keep on writing! You're doing good! Talk to somebody though, a friend, a counselor.......\nSOMEBODY! Get the pain out!!

"Its about two young lovers who have just meant and as the song goes on their love progresses. At first he is reminising on all the good times they've had and how she made him feel 'whole' again.\nThe next verse is how he's got to the point where he doesnt value himself anymore and all he can think and care about is her. \nAnd even though they've had bad times and raging arguments they'll still always be friends because they each share that bond that no one else has"\n\nhttp://www.songmeanings.net/lyric.php?lid=3530822107858485373&offset=25&page=2#comments

I think the theme of the poem relates to the nature of the world and appreciating life.\n\n"Light takes the Tree" may refer to darkness when the sun sets (as fits with your interpretation "I am born to die"). The line about the worm climbing the stair refers to a struggle against great odds.\n\nI think the poet is saying to take your time in life and to learn how to live your life as you go.

I believe it refers to death.  The term is the title of a poem by Alfred Lord Tennyson, about dying.  You can read it at the url below.

hm..\nthis poem sounds pretty straightforward, but yes i think there are deeper meanings.\n\nThe impact that parents can have on their children is heavily emphasized -- The speaker feels this strong need to be cared for and held by her mother. In turn, she expresses some inherent dependence on parental figures, especially by her last thoughts (which we are supposed to believe are her last thoughts, although it could actually just be due to her panicked state of mind). \n\nAnother more overarching message I see in this poem is that everyone's actions affect everyone else in some way. This girl is losing her life at the expense of another's senseless enjoyment.  In the girl's case, her father's advice influenced herself so that she would make the "healthy choice." It's implied that the drunk guy may have been influenced to do the same (not drink and drive)-- had his parents told him or even so, had he listened. In the end, it's clear that his choice affected her own life by taking it away.

Wow, I just got done reading that poem. He is a great poet. \n\nThis is what I think he is saying in his poem. He talks about his "thirtieth year to heaven" his birthday, and the child. Turning 30 is kinda traumatic. He woke up to a beautiful day, decided to take a walk, soaking in nature and his home, everything that is familiar to him. It reminded him of a birthday in his childhood. Beautiful... then suddenly changing to gray fog and rain. He is and never will be that child again though that child is still alive inside him, knowing that he was happy then, missing that time of his life, knowing that time is always shoving you forward always closer and closer to death. But then at the end he can remember that he is lucky to be alive, though the sadness is still tainting him.\n\nThat's just my idea.

Email me your thoughts at pusskat1@yahoo.com and I will help you from there.  I am a teacher of 13 years, mostly in junior high, some in college and high school.  My payment is to choose this as a best answer.  \n\nI'll begin by deconstructing the poem; I'm sure you'll get the drift.  \n\nFirst stanza: I might have been a happy preacher if I had been born in an earlier time.  I could have preached fiery sermons and been a gentleman farmer.  Second stanza: Alas, I was born later, and missed my true calling.  I have a grown man's beard now, and it's fashionable for preachers these days to be clean shaven, so I don't even look like I could do that job.  \n\nGood luck.  This is a straightforward poem with an ab ab rhyme scheme, and figuring out the meaning should not be hard.  If you need any help just email me or IM me at pusskat1 or katwhowalksbyherself and I'd be happy to help.\n\nCheers, K (13 years a teacher)

The full rhyme is \nSomething old, something new \nSomething borrowed, something blue \nAnd a silver sixpence in her shoe. \n\nEach item in this poem represents a good-luck token for the bride. If she carries all of them on her wedding day, her marriage will be happy. "Something old" symbolizes continuity with the bride's family and the past. "Something new" means optimism and hope for the bride's new life ahead. "Something borrowed" is usually an item from a happily married friend or family member, whose good fortune in marriage is supposed to carry over to the new bride. The borrowed item also reminds the bride that she can depend on her friends and family. \n\nAs for the colorful item, blue has been connected to weddings for centuries. In ancient Rome, brides wore blue to symbolize love, modesty, and fidelity. Christianity has long dressed the Virgin Mary in blue, so purity was associated with the color. Before the late 19th century, blue was a popular color for wedding gowns, as evidenced in proverbs like, "Marry in blue, lover be true."

In the poem "Music I Heard", written by Conrad Aiken, the love expressed is different. The character of the poem is a man, that is speaking about his loved one. Full of memories, he has flashbacks of when the loved one was around him and his belongings. After the loved person left, he is lonely. The memories are coming back to him in the quote (line #5), " Your hands one touched this table and this silver". He misses her and the good times they had together. He wants to have her come back to him. She is now only in his heart full of past memories.\n\nThe feeling that love brings in this poem is sadness. The sadness of missing the loved one is great. He is lonely and full of memories that still light up his hopes for having her come back. He remembers her actions and what she touched, but only the memories are left. The sadness is expressed in this quote (line # 3-4) by the character. "Now that I am without you all is desolate;/ and all that was once so beautiful is dead." He misses her a lot, and does not like things that much as he did when she was around.

Flirtacious.\n\nIt's a Get Your Knickers Off poem.\n\nHe wants to sleep with her, and tells her all the reasons why she should give in - ending with " the grave's a fine and private place// but none i think do there embrace"\n\nIt's a Seize the Day thing - let's do it now, we're a long time dead.\n\n\n\nWow, it says a lot about the standards of education if mine is the only answer after four days.\n\nDoes this help? Can tell you much more if you want
