i'm not sure about what you are saying....
remember, "the wind, the wind had meant to be" so wind had meant to be
untamed and wild, man just couldn't see the beuaty of it.... the whole
realization or whatever that the wind had (the aim was song the wind could
see) was just that he accepted the song, but still meant to be untamed...
also the man taking a little bit has significance because if he took all of
the wind, man would be changing the winds purpose which ties it to the
religious aspect of robert frost, just my thoughts...

I don't see this quite the same way. The wind has always been there, a
force of nature, never creating song or music, just existing in noise.
Frost even writes:
"The wind once blew itself untaught,
And did its loudest day and night
In any rough place where it caught"
the idea of being untaught just blowing in unrefined places whenever it was
stuck in my opinion indicates a lack of beauty
Man is introduced later, and through manipulating the wind with "the lips
and throat" he turns this basic element of nature into song, turns what was
primitive and untamed into something beautiful.
That's just my take on it, though I can definately see how the other
perspective could be argued. Great poem :)

You're all fools. the poem is obviously about playing the bagpipes. I
mean look at his choice of words. Also, Frost's mother was Scottish.

I think Mr. Frost was a very spiritual man. The wind is the breath of God
that created all things. Man has been attempting to alter creation since he
was formed from it. All God wants us to do is listen to his song.

I'm not sure this poem is as simple as you're making it out to be. It seems
to me that the Wind could represent an adult while the Man is a child. The
Wind, knowing how to blow already, allows the Man to do it himself, giving
the Man confidence.And the Wind is forced to do as many adults do and just
sit back and smile while the Man shows off his new found skill.

My dear guidi this poem is actually very ironic, as it talks about man and
how he wanted to show the wind how to blow. the wind has been blowing for
ages and yet here comes the man who thinks that he knows it all and tries
to teach the wind!

This poetic masterpiece reminds me of back when me and my Zimbabwian
mistress pretended that the windows of my Alfa Romeo car were the windows
of a time machine and that our arms became fossils.

This poem is ironical because the wind knew how to sing all along, while
the mans foolishness is seen -(because he was trying to teach him).
