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 favor 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. 

Teacher Ramírez Opinions: 
What I think?this poem compare two things, the Fire and the Ice,
 these are allusion to the destruction, to the evil, 
we can relate the the fire, with passion and the ice, with hate; 
But I remind you, Every single person have different viewpoints! 
Please show me in a comment, what's your opinion?
Long Distance By Carole Gregory

That phone call, the one that you wait for
but never expect to come
was phoned today. And
that voice, the one that you ache for
but seldom expect to hear
spoke today. And that
loneliness, the loneliness you hurt from
but always help inside,
flies out like thin stones across water.


Teacher Ramírez opinions:
In my opinion this poem is about hope!

The Choice By Dorothy Parker

He'd have given me rolling lands,
Houses of marble, and billowing farms,
Pearls, to trickle between my hands,


Smoldering rubies, to circle my arms.
You- you'd only a lilting song,
Only a melody, happy and high,
You were sudden and swift and strong-
Never a thought for another had I.

He'd have given me laces rare,
Dresses that glimmered with frosty sheen,
Shining ribbons to wrap my hair,
Horses to draw me, as fine as a queen.
You- you'd only to whistle low,
Gayly I followed wherever you led.

I took you, and I let him go-
Somebody ought to examine my head! 

Teacher Ramírez opinions:
This poem is about Love vs. Money
Please tell me in a comment what is your opinion about this poem?
And if you did not undertand so good this poem, like a suggestion from Teacher Ramírez, read the poem in a quiet setting, and remember all the opinion are subjective!
Everybody have a different opinion!
