Robert Frost is a genius for writing this. This peom is my absolute favorite poem I have ever read. It inspires me to write about everything I feel like and to live life to the fullest. I was so shocked to read it in The Outsiders I nearly fell out of my chair. I am so glad that shuch a great poem was honored by being put into such a good book.

I love this poem. I think about it all the time. To me, depending on the day, i get either 'enjoy your youth while it is yours' or 'all good things come to an end', which to some people are very similar. But its not jsut the messages in Frost's poems, its his writing style - the imagery, emotion, and thought stimulation that one can get from so few words..

this is one of Frost's most beautiful poems where he symbolises the human nature and cycle with the trees and flowers....it takes sometime to really understand this poem...its just so beautiful..

I think this poem is really special because using beautiful metaphors it is basically telling everyone to enjoy youth while you have it, because it won't last forever. I also agree with Rebecca Weall

This poem is in the book The Outsiders. I agree with Rebecca Weall.

I think this poem is about cherishing your youth and staying young for as long as you can. When you're a child your gold, you're young and innocent. and this is the shortest part of our life, her hardest hue to hold, but as we grow older we start to wither and die, then leaf subsides to leaf, meaning that when we are young we are gold, perfect, and we should try to stay like this for as long as we can

I think this poem represents spring and new beginnings that are often easy but get harder then are finnaly crushed.
