Confession #3: I LOVE POETRY BY ROBERT FROST

I didn't really start taking an interest in poetry until around my freshman year in high school. I can remember reading "The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe for the first time and I loved it. I do love Edgar Allen Poe's work as well; the darkness of his poetry and stories is what I find fascinating, but by far "The Raven" is my favorite of his works. Anyway, when I first ready Robert Frost's poem "The Road Not Taken", I immediately felt that this work was speaking to me personally. And so, when I had to pick a poem to analyze for my English class this semester, I was so happy to find "The Road Not Taken" in my literature book (my teacher wanted us to pick a poem from the book). I don't know if my teacher found my paper to be good enough, or if it followed the guidelines she gave us, but I enjoyed getting to read the poem and write about what I thought the words meant, what message I was getting from the poem. And then, I was even happier when I found that in Chamber Singers we were going to be singing a song based on another poem by Robert Frost called "Choose Something Like A Star", which is an absolutely GORGEOUS piece, and the poem itself is a work of art... well, in MY opinion, it is anyway. So, I would like to share with you, my dear readers, the songs that are based on these two beautiful works of art by Robert Frost. Enjoy :-)
