This poem is rather interesting to read, as you now a poem can also
manipulate the mind...I read this poem in school today and this is the feed
back on it...

Robert Frost writes his poems having to do with nature and so does this
poem as well, but Frost also wants to know, who got the flower, spider and
the moth together? Is this a place (the heal-all flower) that I visited
before? Why does this higher being let bad things happen? Why does the
spider have to kill the moth? At first the spider is compared to a
dimple..A baby's dimple..Baby's are innocent, but the spider doesn't give
life, it snatches it away- evil intent. White in the first 3 lines
indicates purity. Luxury and beauty is taken from the moth. This whole poem
talks about who allows for bad things to happen and why!!
