After Frost Poem by Robert Creeley

After Frost

Rating: 4.0


He comes here
by whatever way he can,
not too late,
not too soon.

He sits, waiting.
He doesn't know
why he should
have such a patience.

He sits at a table
on a chair.
He is comfortable
sitting there.

No one else
in this room,
no others, no expectations,
no sounds.

Had he walked
another way,
would he be here,
like they say.

Creeley is a modern master. He forces you to look at words differently and then forces you to rethink your own values. “For Love” is a unique book. The continuous irony is at times painful but accurate.
