The Poet Frost

2014 Robert Frost Poetry Contest

I am proud to announce once again
I have had the honor and privilege,              have had/ had
to be allow to line the trashcan of the           allow/allowed
Poetry Judges office at Robert Frost Farms.
An Honor I look forward too next year !

This Year' trashcan liner                                Year'/year's
Entitled 
The Poet Frost

That poet lived not far from here
But I could not see, nor hear him talk 
I read about His chopping wood
And Mending Fences make of rock                   make/made

I heard that he had pasted away
When many eyes gave birth to tears
I was only six, that fateful day
Now, five more score in years

But through the passing of the seasons
His rhymes and verses have remained
A guiding light, that I find pleasing
And as for this, I count it gain

I did not meet the man called Frost
But know him well, for words he penned
I try sometimes try to think his thoughts
And walk his fields from end to end

I feel his presents, while on his farm               Presents/presence  
Where nature speaks his sonnets so
With loving hands he planted words
Then stood and watched the poems grow

If I could only farm, like this
to draw from natures inspiration
Then writing poems great like his
Would be my cherished occupation           It's no wonder I end up in the can
                                                               lesson: Never proof read alone

Huggs, greenbutterfly Jerry T Curtis June 16, 2014 at 6:15 PM Sharon, don't under estimate you own power of poetry, I very much, like your work.

James Horn May 27, 2014 at 4:40 AM You cannot both have and had at the same time. Once you already have it you had it. Allow s/b allowed. Trash cans are circular and do not have lines unless it was a square trash can. Year' s/b Year's. Mending fences make s/b made. Try something try s/b only one try. Presents s/b presence. The poem itself and concepts are great. Jim Horn Jerry T Curtis May 27, 2014 at 7:11 AM "Thanks Jim for you help, this is the kind of critiquing that make better poets, or sends them home crying. Lol------As far as Having Had this problem before. It's bad New England slang, I will not change mistakes in this copy, so as the reader can understand your comment and may learn something from this. Thanks Jim, please feel free to scrutinize all my work. Sincerly your friend JTCurtis"
