"Many of Robert Frost's poems begin with straightforward description and move towards meditation and commentary" Discuss

Beginning with straightforward description in most of his poems, Frost manages to capture our interest and imagination right from the very start and immediately draws us into the scene of the given poem. This intriguing opening style then develops into reflection on what the description at the start means to him personally and then comments on it throughout.
In one of Frosts most famous poems “The Tuft Of Flowers”, the opening line is direct and to the point so as we know exactly what is happening in the poem clearly. “I went to turn the grass once after one who mowed it in the dew before the sun”, Frost then goes onto describe a tuft of flowers which were not cut along with the grass “A leaping tongue of bloom the scythe had spared beside a reedy brook the scythe had bared”. After giving us the clear description of what the poem is about, Frost then reflects and meditates on the flowers and comments on them, “And ( I ) feel a spirit kindered to my own so that henceforth I worked no more alone”. From the poem “The Tuft Of Flowers”, we can clearly see the style of description, meditation and commentary in Frosts poetry.
The poem in which this method of writing is the most obvious is also Frosts most famous poem, “ The Road Not Taken”. This, the most famous of Frosts poems deals with the issue of choice in our lives and how after we make our decision there will still be regret for not taking the other choice. Using the above style of writing in his poetry, Frost creates a brilliant poem which captures our attention and fuels our imagination through both his description of the theme and the commentary which he uses to share his own reflection of the theme with us. “Two roads diverged in a yellow wood”. This sentence creates the setting in our minds through the description of the two roads in the woods. Leaving his meditating comment to the end, Frost makes sure that we get the message of how the decisions he made dramatically changed his life. We see this reflective commentary at the end of the poem in the line, “ I took the one less travelled by ( road ), and that has made all the difference”.
This unique style of writing gives Frosts poetry a free flowing and very informative quality which captures peoples minds in the themes and issues in his poems. The description at the start hooks us into reading further and the theme is then supported and clearly portrayed to us through his own reflection and commentary just as is written in the given statement.
