Fire and Ice (1920)

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.

Analysis of The Poem Entitled Trees by Joyce Kilmer using TPCASTT

Trees Joyce Kilmer (1886-1918) I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree.
