looking for a poem

galadriel · 12-29-2002, 09:54 PM

When I was talking with my creative writing teacher, he recommended a poem to me. It's by Robert Frost, and it's about a woman falling out of an airplane. Of course, he failed to remember the title.

I've checked on the Internet and I can't find it (partially because I'm too lazy to spend hours looking for it, but that's another story).

Anyone heard of it?

Did you try www.robertfrost.org ? There's a complete list of his poems there.

I've heard alot about Robert Frost, but I can't say I've ever read his work. What's it like? Is good? What does he write about?

From what I've read (and that is very little of his work, mind you), it is quite good. I'd suggest going to the site I mentioned in an earlier post (there's his poems and stuff about him there).

May Robert Frost forgive your teacher! That's a James Dickey poem. It's called, get this... "Falling".

Good grief! Thank you!!! I was wondering why I couldn't find it....

I like Robert Frost. He is one of my favorite poets!

Wasn't it Robert Frost who wrote Roe Deer? That was a very good poem, really atmospheric. I remember reading it as one of my GCSE set texts and I think I even wrote about it in the literature exam- only two years ago but I've blocked it out of my memory so I can't remember. Mx
