Roberts & Hughes
Hughes and Frost -- Jerz: American Lit II (EL 267)
Roberts "The Pasture" sticks out for me. As soon as I read it, I felt like I was back home on my friends farm. We would play with the horses and cows and play house in the spring house in the pasture. I like how he depicts the pasture fields with the spring and the cows and ask for his friend to come along too. Come along so that they may enjoy nature too!
I specifically identify with Roberts as I am sure many do, with his "The Road Not Taken." This is a classic!
The two poems that stuck out for me by Hughes were the "Bad Luck Card " and "Lover's Return." Both of these poems speak of love. The bad luck card is comical to me because it is like the person is having their palms read about their life and love. The Lover's return is sad to me because it speaks of a father/daughter relationship that was lost and is only brought back together because of sickness/death.
