Haha. This poem. I first heard of it from reading The Outsiders. I really thought that HS Hinton had composed the thing. It doesn't smack of Robert Frost. I get no sense of New England from this poem.
It's also very understandable. It's very middle school. Frost wrote better poems, I think. But I do like this poem, merely because my fiance loves to quote it. And that is a definite plus for the poem. It IS really easy to remember.
Favorite line: "Nothing gold can stay."
