If you don't like this, or him, would you say why?
Once by the Pacific
The shattered water made a misty din.
Great waves looked over others coming in,
And thought of doing something to the shore
That water never did to land before.
The clouds were low and hairy in the skies,
Like locks blown forward in the gleam of eyes.
You could not tell, and yet it looked as if
The shore was lucky in being backed by cliff,
The cliff in being backed by continent;
It looked as if a night of dark intent
Was coming, and not only a night, an age.
Someone had better be prepared for rage.
There would be more than ocean-water broken
Before God's last 'Put out the Light' was spoken.
-- Robert Frost

Yeah, his humble diction serves to keep us interested by not intimidating us like a lot of other poets. I consider this poem to be Frost's rendition of "break yoself fool!". :-p

Yes "I Make Avatars", we're both desperate to get that million dollar prize; it has nothing to do with the fact that her answers are consistently better than anyone else's.

Check out his Q & A, and while you're at it, stop by his nonstop party of a 360. God help me if I'm like that and on a site like this when I'm 157 years old. :-p (although the missing persons deal is cool.)

I'd definitely place Frost on a Pimp Pedestal. ;-)
*Looks down* What a moron. :P
He's like the hall monitor that everyone always wanted to beat up. hehehe Oh, and by the way, he's violating Community Guidelines by not posting an actual answer to the question. Tsk, tsk.

Yes, I seriously like Frost, and I didn't know that poem, so thank you, but I still return more often to my Kipling.
He has so many moods, from the humorous to the lyrical to the raw, raw, edges of military life.
(I won't quote any here, to distract from the excellent Frost!)
