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 by JT Curtis

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

"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"
