At my last job, employees were required to fill out a self-assessment, listing their strengths and weaknesses, then during the review the employer would go through the list with the employee.

In this essay I will touch on Robert Frost’s ability to write poems that are obviously poems, but also have a speech-like sound. Which means even though the reader can tell the work is a poem it also sounds like something someone would say in everyday speech.
