Robert Frost - A Time to Talk

When a friend calls to me from the road
And slows his horse to a meaning walk,
I don't stand still and look around
On all the hills I haven't hoed,
And shout from where I am, 'What is it?'
No, not as there is a time talk.
I thrust my hoe in the mellow ground,
Blade-end up and five feet tall,
And plod: I go up to the stone wall
For a friendly visit.

The speaker of the poem i believe is to be someone who is a hard labor worker, but even though he has to get his job done. he doesnt decline the oppurtunity to meet up with some friends because friends matter more in life than hard labor! i am in high school and i just had to write this out to realize what i was trying to say for my english examm !

BC Butt Crack from United States Comment 14 of 16, added on September 27th, 2008 at 8:40 AM. I really enjoyed this poem. This poem talks about the importance of friendship and making time for friends, even if it means postponing your work for a while, to take care of your friend. omar tawil from Egypt More Comments >> Are you looking for more information on this poem?
