Poetry Meditation - Birches By Robert Frost

Poetry offers a perspective into the world through words. The words paint a picture and are able to ignite feelings deep in our subconscious. It does mean listening carefully. Continuing a current theme around trees, Chantal Dawtrey reads a poem by Robert Frost about birch trees. It explores the spontanteous joy of childhood juxtaposed with the tedium of adulthood and the desire for relief, freedom and balance.

Put a smile on my face… fond memories of climbing/swinging from birch tops in my parents back yard. So good to visualize doing it again at 67 years old and all the symbolism in the poem. Thanks!

Thanks to you and Matthew for your contributions! This poem took me back to my boy hood of birches, pathless woods, and swinging branches.

So lovely to hear and remember this poem. Thank you

I adore trees. They are the veins of the earth. Beautiful prose. 🙏🏻

Fascinating….., clearly spoken too!
