As a reader of some of his poems a person can effortlessly be transported to the experience that Mr. Frost must have had in his mind when he wrote the poem. He was a talented man that knew how to imprint his memories into a poem and be able to let the reader travel into his mind. This is the beauty of poetry, the ability of a poet to let reader into his mind through his written words as well as let the reader expand his/her own mind with their interpretation of the
