A Son of Robert Frost

Robert Frost has been a great inspiration to me. His poetry has made me reflect the simple things in life and the subtle. I think that some of the most challenging things to understand in the world are the small ideas. As a result, Frost has changed my poetic style; now I notice the little things and love to write about them. I wrote about a lady who came into the bookstore that I work at. After I got done checking her books out, I asked if she'd like a bag and her response was peculiar and striking: "Screw bags! They breed like rabbits!" So here is my poem.



Shopping at a general store-
Frugal once more.
Take the bags
Past the door.
Hoard them away,
To litter the floor.


I hope you enjoyed it.
