  1. At the begining this poem seems like it's about a unicorn, but that is a little far fetched. I think the poem is actually about love, and what the love used to be, and also tied into nature, and what nature used to be before it gets destroyed and all the technology was invented. It seems like the speaker in the story is running away with someone that he loves, and they're going to places forgotten about, beautiful places that have to do with nature, like through the woods and in the end it seems like they end up at a beach type place.

    The poem by Robert Frost seems like a love poem because is talks about the bird songs and roadside flowers. At the end of each stanza, he says the same sentence over and over by saying, "And be my love in the rain." Must be explaining that he want a special someone that he loves or cares about a lot to go be with him in life. He is hoping that the one he loves the most will come back him one day in life when the rain storm ends.

  4. This poem is very descriptive. It contains the five human senses. It talks about clouds, stormy weather and love. I think the theme of this poem is life. I think this because Storms, love all connect to each other in life.

  5. This poem is like a fantasy. This is about everything that should be. But most importantly it is about love. The poem says that even through all the rough things in life LOVE can still exists and be there right with you along the way.

  6. In A line-storm song, the poem describes the different types of nature and how beautiful it can be. Robert Frost relates nature to love and they both share the same beautiful qualities. Nature and love both have negatives and positives.

  7. I believe this poem is connect to the theme of love. At the beginning of the poem the author seems to focus on an object then as you read
    Further into the poem it seems to widen to a more larger perspective like love and nature. But overall I think that the true meaning or theme is connected to love in this poem.

  8. this poem seems to be about love and about his love for nature. it also seems to be talking about how when things go wrong you can always somehow find love and good in the world. when negatives come about sometimes you need to look through it and find positives instead. ~Rachel K

  9. This poem seams to be about frosts love. He wants to go walk in the woods with this person after a big rain storm. After a rain storm it is kind of like a new begining for nature so maybe he wants a new begining for him and his love.

  10. I think that this poem is about lost love. Robert Frost probably focuses on the rain so much because hes trying to wash away the feelings he once had. But hes still tentative about letting love go and thats why he is asking the reader to join him in the rain.

  11. i believe that the speaker is telling the person he loves to go and be with him in the ideal place he is describing. I also think that when he says "And the hoof-prints vanish away" he means that the past is left behind/forgotten about when they are in this perfect world together.

  12. I agree with Audrey saying that nature is beautiful and so is love and that is how they connect together to make Robert Frosts poem so great.

  13. I believe that the poem is about nature. Nature in this poem is being connected to love and how nature can be a symbol of love. The beauty of the two help them connect together. Nature is what Robert Frost is always talking about, so therefore nature would be in this poem. But he also has a tendency to write about love. So believe that this time he connected the two together.

  14. I agree with Jessica on how nature is being compared to a fantasy. That love is sometimes a fantasy to other people as well.

  15. I agree with audrey, i think he is trying to compare two things that are both beautiful, like love and nature. He is trying to show the true beauty or concept in both

  16. At first he mentions storm clouds, and then says "Come over the hills and far with me,
    And be my love in the rain."

    Here,Frost is showing how it rained, and I think he would like to kiss this girl he speaks of, in the rain. The poem is very descriptive, and I think it's about love, since it is so close to valentines day...(gag).

  17. I also agree with allie, about the hoof prints vanishing, representing the past being forgotten.

  18. I think this poem if very discriptive and verbiage in reguards to discription. This poem has examples of all of the 5 senses. It is also very figmentive, I believe this because their are some examples of fantasy like things through out the poem. I can not help but to think that the author is liveing in a fantasy/utopian world.

  19. I some what agree with B rAd220 in regaurds to new beginings. I personaly feel that the poem is dicussing the up's and down's of a relationship. The trials and tribulations aswell. But if you hang in their the hard times will get easier and things will fall back into place.

  20. "And the hoof-prints vanish away", in this quote i agree with Allie and Marissa, this quote means that you must forget or move on from your past.In order to live that's what everyone must do,move on from the hard times and anticipate the good in your future.This quote also relates to the theme of love, and Robert's Frost love of nature because everything in life has its ups and downs, but no matter what it's beautiful.

  21. I have to say that i disagree with marcello. I do not think it is about lost love at all. But rather the replenishing of old love! As I said before, I believe that this poem is about over comeing struggles in a relationship. And i believe that the author is perhaps prepareing to re-new his vowes to his true love, it does mention a gown in the poem.

  22. I have to disagree with frootloopfishy i believe that it is about a lost love. It may be an old love but it is a lost love as well.

  23. I agree with Allie, Marissa and Audrey abnout how you must move on and forget about the past. in order to live the life that you want to you need to let some things go.

  24. I also would like to say that this poem is about love and its different stages(dating, marriage,the tough times,growing old together)
    "To the ancient lands where it left the shells
    Before the age of the fern;
    And it seems like the time when after doubt
    Our love came back amain." But no matter what he'll always have his love.

  25. This poem seems to be about love which is unusual for the poems Ms. DiMezza usually makes us read, I was expecting some overly depressing poem with a complicated message, but as of now I don't see nothing too depressing or complicated.The descriptive language Robert Frost uses projects nice images in my head. It's nice.

  26. I agree with Jeremy because the character's love would wait for him in the rain hence the sentence, "And be my love in the rain." Also the title of the story being, "A Line-storm Song" means that sooner or later the storm would clear and his love would be there.

  27. I agree with Jessica that the poem is about love because throught rough times, you can still find love.

  28. when i first read this poem i thought it was about love. i think the author is trying to tell his love. to me he is either talking about how he loves someone and wants to marry them or trying to win that person back. but i do not understand the parts about rain...

    I agree with the class about how the poem is mostly talking about love. But i agree alot with marcello about how Robert Frost talk alot abut death in his poem and how people react to it. In this poem, it shows how someone would wait and wait until that special someone comes back to them in life

  32. I agree with audrey, I think the poem is about the stages of love. I would just like to say thank you to Leke for agreeing with me.

  33. I also think that marissa Is right when she said the speaker is running away from someone he loves Because the poem gives off a feeling of running away.

  34. Like jeremy i do agree with the class that this poem is alot about love. But i kind of have a feeling that there is some thing deeper that shows a bad side of things. i feel like there could be some darker side of it when he says "There is the gale to urge behind and bruit our singing down." it could mea nsome thing like the world do every thing it can to get in the way of love.

  35. I agree with frootloopfishy when they say that it is like the ups and downs of love. this seems more of robert frosts style of writing, writing about the bad. it also shows the good in love which many ppl commented on.

  36. To me this poem shows Frosts love of nature. It describes the impact of the rain on the animals, as if they know what it symbolizes, the same way Frost does. The world was not always the way it is now, and the ground was once the oceans of another time.
