stephanralph, you definitely need to get out more often....

What a wonderful poem, one of Frost's best I think.

@steffanralphdelpiano birches clearly has some sexual images. you just can't ignore them. If you've ever taken a poetry class, you would know that EVERYTHING is on purpose. frost's diction is artful. If he chose not to add sexual themes, he wouldn't. But the sex is ingrained in this nature poem, another layer that adds essential knowledge. human instinct and its sexual behavior is natural, and he relates it to the pureness of nature

@MrJay50jay The decimal system is pretty overrated, don't you think?

@YawnGod 1/10 because you got me to respond.

@jeffgraham91 You know, my two lines and this comment of yours make a rather tasteful poem. Which is ironic, since it's more than much of what Frost had ever written.
Lulzy.

Love the poem, but I don't particularly like Frost's reading of it. Haha, am I allowed to do that? It's his poem after all..
Hm...

@YawnGod You try writing in Blank Verse and see how it goes.

This isn't poetry.
This is prose.
@brandonjrowe If you read Robert Frost for masterbatory images I'd hate to hear what you think about when you read Dr. Seuss.

One of my favorite poems. As a young fellow in rural Illinois, I was a swinger of birches.This poem touches me deeply. . Life lessons taught and appreciated. It has served me well in my later years. Thank you Robert Frost.
