"THE THOUGHT FOX" analysis "The Thought-Fox" is a poem about writing a poem‚ it analyses in detail the nature of literary inspiration and literary creation.

The first time I read “fire and ice” by frost my first thought was it is about death. The poem starts of with what many people talk about whether the world will end with fire or ice. I thought the author was a little weird for writing a poem about not caring on the way he dies. Also‚ I thought it was funny the fact that his last name is frost and he prefers to die with fire.

The symbols of his books also give us a real sense of the dire consequences these characters actions can
