Well, first I'd like to say that I'm from India, a poet by inclination and
a journalist by trade for the time being. I believe Robert Frost certainly
had a metaphysical edge to his poetry. I am unaware of the history of
Robert Frost but I have heard his recitation in JFK'S inaugural address.
What I'd like to say is that all poets senses are slightly skewed. This of
course is my personal perception. Why a poet creates is a question that we
should ask? What is it that makes a poet a poet? Well I don't know if
people in the United States identify with this, but what I believe is that
our great president, seer,visionary and poet is also a scientist? So, is
there a connection between poetry and science.? If so, we should also
identify the neural pathways which lead to this. I believe America is in
the forefront of this particular initiative. I would certainly want the
fountainhead of Western civilisation to actually research on why any poet
was creative and whether poetry actually has practical value.

I have two things to comment on. First of all, there are two mistakes.
First Stanza: "i was just as the light was beginning to fail" should be,
"It was just as the light was beginning to fail", and a mistake in Stanza
Three: "I was something among the leaves I sought" should be, "It was
something among the leaves I sought"
The second thing I would like to comment on is that i believe that this
poem has a deeper meaning, like with a number of other poems, that is
hidden between the lines. It is powerful in terms of language usage and the
feeling of how Robert Frost captured what he was thinking!
