Nothing Gold Can Stay- Robert Frost
I read this poem, and then re read it, and I came up with two theories as to what it might mean. My first theory- all good things come to an end. Through out the whole poem, as short as it might be, the good thing goes to something else. The gold never stays. Yet, this explanation didn't really do it for me. I thought that it didn't fully cover the poem's meaning. Although the things, like flower, the leaf, and the gold, all go away... it's is not necessarily a bad thing. I concluded that just because things change, it isn't a negative. Using the word "gold" and making the poem talk more then just leaves, but mean something more valuable. So while the value changes and developes through time,. it never looses meaning or worth. BOOM! owned.
