The farmhouse lingers, though averse to square
With the new city street it has to wear

A very fascinating poem by the great poet and so true. Congratulations with The Modern Poem Of The Day
Excellent as Frost always is... poignant in its portrayal of nature suffering at the hands of Man.
The great poet Robert frost written this poem and I likes it
A wonderful poem by Robert Frost. The description used is amazing.
Such a heartwarming poem. There is a price we pay for all this modernization. And some time it is more than just the loss of natural beauty.
WoW! ! Robert Frost just made me feel teary-eyed sympathy for the plight of a brook that once ran merrily under the sun until city sprawl pushed it underground into the smelly dank darkness of the sewer system. Actually I know how he feels- -urban sprawl has robbed me of all the desert around here that I used to ride for hours in all directions- now mile after mile of housing.
And I wonder, following Frost, if that brook would resurface with the disappearance of people and given enough time. -GK
Beautiful poem with haunting expression. It has justification as being selected as the poem of the day.
So many brooks lost under cities! The poem as relevant today as years back!
This poem is only a fair effort in my estimation. It does not come together seamlessly as it should. The marks by others confirm this.
.........this is very sad both the brook and apple trees were destroyed...two life giving sources..shame on those who did this โ
A wonderful poem so beautifully crafted and executed. Compelling images.
