Poetry is a written way to expresses yourself and your feelings in a distinctive style. There are many great poets from a long time ago to present day. We still study poets from a long time ago because they are great and wrote great poetry that is worth learning about. Two of the big poets that come to mind are Oscar Wilde and Robert Frost. Oscar Wilde is from Ireland while Robert Frost is from San Francisco, California. Where they are from and how they grew up may have a lot to do with the way their poems are written and what they are written about. Specific themes can also be something that can be expressed differently between the two because of the poets’ past. I found a lot of similar techniques between the two poets and their poetry

For example, Her Voice by Oscar Wilde is about an argument with himself whether he should marry this woman but may be too different. I see it as a beautiful story that maybe doesn’t end in the best way. When I read that I thought of Robert Frost’s The Rose Family because it is about this love-hate battle and which is the best, but in the end they both lead to the same result of death. I think the two are similar in a way that they both start out as this wonderful story but ends in this dark sorrow. There were also many similarities between the other two poems I read for both the poets. The next was From Spring Days to Winter by Wilde and The Rose Family by Frost. They are both primarily talking about beauty. In Wilde’s poem, he is saying that all things in life are beautiful and magnificent. In Frost’s poem, he is saying the beauty comes in all shapes and sizes and inside we are all beautiful. Both poems were sweet and made you think of accepting who you are and not taking things for granted. The last two are not as similar as the others. In Wilde’s A Vision, he is talking about these kings and one of them is not accepted, but Wilde tries to express that he is innocent and tries to convince the people to accept him and he is good. In Frost’s Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening, he is …show more content…
He was so genuine and even opened a hospital for the poor. He went to prison, yet still wrote in a happy manor. Robert Frost also had so much love to give, for example, he proposed to his high school sweet heart and she denied him but tried again a little later until she said yes, he loved her so much and was not going to lose her. I see the love he has in his writings. Frost was not well known for a long time until after world war one. Both of the poets were extremely smart. Wilde won a scholarship to college and when he went he placed first in an examination and received the highest honor awarded to undergraduates. Robert Frost graduated valedictorian from his high school and went to attended Harvard but had to drop out after two years because of illness. I think the poets being really smart shows that they can write poetry really well, which obviously they can because they are now famous poets that some study in school. Not saying you have to be extremely smart to write good poetry, I am saying that it may have helped them write poetry because it gave them something to write about and express their emotions over. I think their love for things came through their poetry the most. They are both from around the same time, Wilde was born in 1854 and Frost was born in
