Today's poem on Penny's Poetry Blog:
Birches, by Robert Frost
[...]
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
[...]

I saw that you bumped the thread for me, Zod, but I lost the thread
before I could thank you. But it turns out that my OP was in my
newsreader inbox: I stumbled across it today.

"Found" is a bit of an stretch, since I've got to hunt each post on the newsreader each time I want to reply to it; but at least its's here on
the newreader so I can find it.

It is a pain, and one reason I've been posting less. Hell, I see
"Birches" has been on a month and I never said anything about it.

I can't remember most of what I wanted to say in the first place. The
important thing I think was about getting the poems from the different centuries to fit together. Frost's poem is modern, so it worked well
with the other 20th century poem, Kerouac's; while because it was in
blank verse, it worked as an intro into the 16th and 17th century poetry
at the end of the month.

It's not as big a deal as when I did it a month ago, but I did want to eventually get that on.

And I can say that "Birches" has been getting a few more reads; it's
over 35, meaning it'll probably make the Top 100 of the year.

Does this seem like the kind of guy who would get friendly with stalker trolls and malicious liars such as Nancy Gene and Pendragon?

I don't think so.

So, would Frost prefer our side or the malicious stalkers and thugs like Nancy Gene?

Interesting thing to speculate about.

😉

The answer is obvious my friend.....

I consider Robert Frost to be the number two poet of the all time.... right behind Carl Sandburg.....
