1 Chapter 1 : The Gathering (poem) LetterPile Gathering Leaves is a short poem of six stanzas, all quatrains arranged with rhyme scheme and simple stress pattern, with iamb, trochee and anapaest prevalent. Rhyme The rhyme scheme is a simple abcb with some repeated full rhymes and slant rhymes in stanzas 1 and 4. He is the author of The Heart Aroused: His most recent book is The Bell and The Blackbird. Poetry reading framed the On Being Gathering this year, and we are so happy now to share these slices of beauty, elation, and contemplation with you. Thank you very much, Krista. Just a little touch of her virtuoso articulation. I always feel that at the bottom of a real conversation is a real invitation, and Krista makes the invitation in a really marvelous way. So thank you very much for this invitation tonight. You look at the woodwork, the subtle greens here, the blacksmithing in the light fixtures. I wanted to make a series of invitations to you through a few poems. This is a piece that is the title poem from the book called The Bell and the Blackbird. The bell and the blackbird is an old meme in the Irish tradition. Or should I do something now? We always have to deepen, and we always have to be present in the world at the same time. So this is about holding that conversation. And yet, we live in a time of deep suspicion of strangers. And yet, the new you looking back at you out of the mirror is always first perceived as a stranger and always turned away from. The first beckoning horizon in our life is always seen as one that will lead us to a place of nourishment and pilgrimage and that will frighten us to death at the same time. So the invitation by life is always to be more generous than you thought you could be. He and I used to get together for philosophical and literary weekends. He passed away, tragically, ten years ago. A friend indeed is a friend in need. Always be more generous than you thought you could be the first time. Page 1

Analysis Critique Overview Below Thanks guys u helped me get through my homework: D Posted on by a guest.: Posted on by a guest.: Why do people go to such great lengths to microanalyse poetry; shaping and distorting their impression to suit what they believe the message is? What if frost simply got sick and tired of raking his own lawn that he decided to vent it out in a rather melancholy light, via poetry? But true savage nature does not interpret. It simply listens, not inquires. Anyways, I do not know where I am getting with this. I think Frost is trying to say that ther are so many things in life that get in the way. We are so hard on ourselves and we have to work and do things that will overwhelm us. Sometimes we need to unload and let go and just relax. Frost even said something about loading and unloading Posted on by a guest.: I think that the poem is about the absurdity of life. Somebody mentioned Sisyphus in their analysis, which is quite a good comparison: However, Frost goes further than that. I think that he is actually arguing that humans waste their time on trifles which nobody needs. Frost thinks that humans build stuff, destroy forests etc. He feels that we are just convinced that we are doing the right thing when it is clearly not right. Gathering Leaves could also be based on the story surrounding Sisyphus, who pushed a heavy stone up a hill everyday, where it duely fell down agian. The task of gathering leaves employs the same effort;picking sometihng up that arduously falls down every winter, and thus the task rather looses the point. I think this poem describes the mundane task of gathering lives in both a playful and frustrated manner. However I think Frost leaves us with a typically ambiguous conclusion by refusing to reveal his own view about whether persistence in this sort of task should continue. The tone of this poem is quite resigned. It just like the lives of most of us. Working, doing"meaningless"things everyday just because you have to do so, like in the poem "sweeping the leaves". This poem explains the stages of our life that. In the younger age the human is full of enthusiasm he tries to work hard and earn as much as he wants and as he gets older his lie gets monotonus and boring and he doesnot enjoy his lie. But frost says that whatever one has to work till the end of his life. Although Frost is facing chores that are boring and routine-like, he accepts the fact light-heartedly. I believe this poem depicts addiction. For example like drugs, when people first use them it is like the greatest thing they have ever felt,they feel their adrenilene pumping. But after some time the drug starts to lose its exciting feel to it then its no fun. Not even knowing when or where it will end Posted on by a guest.: Robert Frost was the very embodiment of juxta-positionings, which he used in order to create tension. The form of the poem is very representative of the themes within it. Thanks Isabel for enlightening us in the use of plagiarism and copying As Frost would say, Posted on by a guest.: I think this poem is about when someone does something that they do not enjoy but they do it to fit in with the crowd or because they feel they have to. Isabel Rawlins An important aspect of this poem are the sound effects that Frost uses. In the first three quarters of the poem there are many long vowel sounds emphasising the long, slow, repetitive and seemingly futile exercise of gathering leaves as can be seen in the opening lines with the words: These long sounds continue as the speaker "load[s] and unload[s] again and again". The last two stanzas show contrast in their sound effects with the use of many short, sharp "t" "c" and "p" sounds as the speaker comes to some kind of realisation that despite the apparent wothlessness of his "crop" with "next to nothing for weight", "next to nothing for colour" and "next to nothing for use" who is he, who is anyone to say "where the harvest shall stop? I think this poem is about Frost collecting leaves in autumn and dumping them next to his shed, then after a while they rot. I believe this poem is about love. The leaves represent the women that he sleeps around with and he cannot hug them because he does not love them. While at first the leaves are wrought with exuberance and color, after spending some time on the ground or in bed with him they lose their color and excitement. A shed full of leaves that are no longer exciting and which cannot be embraced and still no love This story is a transparent reminder about the things that are really important in life. Which I interpret as superficial possessions and Page 2
3 friends. He spends all day collecting them just to end up with next to nothing. In this passage it really shows his futile efforts to obtain something significant. He also talks about when he tries to pick up the leaves and they just fall right through his arms and back to the ground. This could represent when you actually try to depend on them they fall through and you are left high and dry. No requests for explanation or general short comments allowed.

4 Chapter 3 : Longing For Peace, The Guitar Of Time, Meaningful Poem Gathering Leaves by Robert blog.quintoapp.com take up leaves No better than spoons And bags full of leaves Are light as balloons. I make a great noise Of rustling all day Like rabbit and. Next to nothing for weight, And since they grew duller From contact with earth, Next to nothing for color. Next to nothing for use. Analysis of Gathering Leaves Gathering Leaves is a curious poem, being both simple and complex, playful and serious, seasonal and universal, mundane and philosophical. It focuses on work, and the necessary processes involved in the cyclic nature of leaf fall, from the perspective of a speaker who could well be a farmer Frost did work a farm but admitted to being a not very good farmer. In the beginning this poem is a little childish, even absurd, spades being compared with spoons, full bags of leaves with balloons. The similes bring a smile to the reader - the work at hand is reduced to a kind of game at a party. The full rhymes reinforce the idea that this could be a nursery rhyme. Simple work, simpler verse. The simile in the second stanza sparks the imagination, for here is someone at it all day - there must be loads of dry leaves - creating sounds that relate directly to nature. Wild creatures are on the run, and the speaker must be familiar with their dashing here and there to link the two. One full of air, the other solid rock, one light, the other heavy. When he tries to pick them up intending to put them in a bag? Elude means to avoid or escape from. So it is that, despite the awkwardness of the dry leaves, the speaker eventually gets them into the shed - note the repeats in the fourth stanza, to underline the repeated manual work - but o what purpose? That last line in the fourth stanza, a question, sets up the ending. Leaves also represent a natural cycle. Being a part of that is vital. Gathering Leaves is about work and nature, and there is a definite use of language which captures this essential pairing. So for example, look at the way words and phrases help build up the idea: Rhyme and Meter in Gathering Leaves Gathering Leaves is a short poem of six stanzas, all quatrains arranged with rhyme scheme and simple stress pattern, with iamb, trochee and anapaest prevalent. Rhyme The rhyme scheme is a simple abcb with some repeated full rhymes and slant rhymes in stanzas 1 and 4. Spades take up leaves And bags full of leaves Are light as balloons. Meter Metre in British English The majority of lines have a simple two beats each but there are variations in this poem so be careful to read it with awareness of syllable stress. For example, in the first stanza the initial foot is a trochee DUMda or inverted iamb: The second stanza reverses that pattern with the four syllable line disappearing out of the poem completely after this, the third introduces a six syllable line mixing with the five syllable, and the fifth stanza introduces a seven syllable line: Different stresses in each line make this stanza a delight to read. Ironic given the meaning of the words.
