this poem is about the cold war which is refered to in this poem.The poet
robert frost is on the american side of the cold war and its about the
berlin wall. the germans want the wall up to stop the americans coming over
and to keep the germans from going over to the americans side of germany.
This is the deep meaning of the poem "mending wall".

This is an excellent poem about the narrator and his neighbor. The narrator
and his neighbor mend the wall together, each time strengthening the
emotional barriers between them. When the narrator says that, "he moves in
darkness it seems to me" much is told. This comment from the poem states
that the neighbor means nothing to him, just bad, perhaps evil. The
narrator is selfless in a way in saying this because this may be what the
neighbor likes. I do NOT belive that this poem is a battle of emotional
wills, but a battle of self confidence and perserverence in one another.

i love this poem, it is describing the relationship between 2 neighbors and
how they don't get along and arent the best of friends but they are there
for each other. they have the fence up and it is a barrier between their
feelings...like a lot of us today, we have walls up against others but at
some point our walls may fall.

its a story between the writer and his friend. its almost as if at the
start the writer does not want to be friends with the other party, thus
drawing up a wall. later on he wants to be frenz, and they meet. but theres
still this wall between them, so theres tension between them. And he tries
to make friends again, but the other party simply rejects him saying tat
good fences make good neighbours, showing he wants a barrier between the
two of them

I disagree with the last comment I believe the Mending Wall really is about
society and how men have to have these barriers around are emotional
stabillity. Its necessary for these barriers for men to live in comfort.
Thats why they keep rebuilding the wall.

I think Frost's poem is about two country neighbours who share the
maintenance of a fence. One of the neighbours is sick of repairing the
fence and tries to convince his recluse friend to tear the fence down and
that fences are for cows but the friend says, "Good fences make good
neighbours."

This poem came up when discussing a neighbors wall and it seems that the
wall is permeable it creates not only the boundary but the basis for
interaction. The yearly discussion and mending of the wall. It is the wall
that brings them together. It is what makes the relationship stable. Even
though the voice of the narrator is confused the underlying theme is good
fences make good neighbors.

In the poem mending wall by robert frost the speaker feels that it is
pointless to put obstacles between others when it is not necessary. He uses
cows as a legitimate reason to have a barrie between others but they do not
have cows therefore he is left confused, basically the speaker wants human
interaction and the neighbor does not he is ignorant and gives no
explanation for his belief.
