Rhyme Scheme

"Fire and Ice" by Robert Frost

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favour fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.


In 1892 Frost graduated from a high school and attended Darthmouth College for a few months. Over the next ten years he held a number of jobs. Frost worked among others in a textile mill and taught Latin at his mother's school in Methuen, Massachusetts. In 1894 the New York Independent published Frost's poem 'My Butterfly' and he had five poems privately printed. Frost worked as a teacher and continued to write and publish his poems in magazines.

This a rhyme schemed poem because it follows a pattern of ABAABCBCB. A rhyme scheme can be any length as long there is an arrangement of rhymes in a stanza or a poem.

 In the poem I thin he talks about how hatred will take over the world and cause it to self destruct. The fire out weighs the ice, we are so heated and ready to fight one another instead of putting our differences aside and coming together.


 
I chose this photo because it shows the fire, hatred, and ice, peace. The fire is lowing taking over the world and causing all good to turn bad and evil.
