Welcome to the blog of perpetual poetic pondering

The above title displays one of the more common poetic devices. "Perpetual Poetic Pondering" is an example of alliteration, or the repetition of consonant sounds. There are many poets that possess the ability to demonstrate some degree of mastery over poetic devices such as alliteration.

The poet this blog is dedicated to, however, was regarded as a man who could make use of all poetic devices in a most effective fashion. After doing that, he still had enough creative energy to go beyond the conventional poem writing tactics.



^^^^^^^^^
This man...is Robert Frost.

This is a blog dedicated to the study and appreciation of just one of Mr. Frost's works. The poem being discussed is titled,

"The Mending Wall."
