And Sunset
Peck Of Gold, by Robert Frostfound on poets.org
Dust always blowing about the town,
Except when sea-fog laid it down, And I was one of the children told Some of the blowing dust was gold. All the dust the wind blew high Appeared like god in the sunset sky, But I was one of the children told Some of the dust was really gold. Such was life in the Golden Gate: Gold dusted all we drank and ate, And I was one of the children told, 'We all must eat our peck of gold. ~Robert Frost Poem AnalysisThis poem uses some imagery to make a happy feeling. I say this because when he said 'All the dust the wind blew high, appeared like a god in the sunset sky" it gives the imagination of a cloud of dust in the sunset sky, appearing golden, and very beautiful. also when he says "dust always blowing across the town, exept when the sea fog laid it down" this gives an image of a beautiful sea shore, laying down the dust. The poem is a look into the mind of a child and it shows the difference in what adults see compared to what children see. the children would call the dust golden, while adults would hate it, because of all the problems it causes them. Judging by the last stanza, frost was trying to say that dust is everywhere, and children can see everything as gold, even if it is as insignificant as dust.
My Own PoemSunset
the sun burns a crimson colour beauty engulfs the world the clouds turn red, purple, and pink The sky is now an artist's palate of colour red, crimson, blue, and pink all surrounding the beauty of the lakes the sunset makes young hearts go wild their heart's fires burn brighter than the sun creating their own sunset, deep in their heart |
