The Frost poem is "Design," but there's no web in the poem. I do agree,
perhaps, that the poem's share an idea of fate. Frost's poem has nothing,
really, to do with the world of humans, but is nature focused. Carver's
poem shows the point where human meets nature. "The Cobweb," and much of
Carver's writing for that matter, puts me in mind of James Wright-- in
particular, i think of "Lying in a Hammock at William Duffy's Farm in Pine
Island, Minnesota". Note the endings for both poems. Both focus on
revelation and an evaluation of one's life.

does this poem remind anyone of a Robert Frost poem about a spider and a
cobweb? even the theme is similar.
