carefully by choosing and arranging language for its meaning, sound, and rhythm.
Some poems, such as nursery rhymes, are simple and humorous.
Now read the first poem in your text-book, Fire and Ice.
Fire and Ice
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
By Robert Frost
