2. Introduction Robert Frost was the most important modern American poet of nature. He is very well regarded for his practical of rural life and his control of American informal speech. His work normally employed settings from rural life in New England in the early twentieth century, using them to examine complex social and philosophical themes. Frost said again and again, "I am not a nature writer. There is quite often a man in my lyrics." Nature is the thing attracts everyone , Nature includes many things. Example , River .Sky Sea, Birds Tree etc………

3. How he uses nature His verse and subject of verse discuss man's existence in the Natural world He doesn't look for in Nature either a feeling of unity with all made things or union with God. There is nothing non-romantic in his perspective of life. In our everyday life we demonstrated such a variety of common things which can't stay away from by us and this things Frost use in his verse with have profound and typical significance. The greater part of Frost's ballads utilize nature symbolism. His grip and comprehension of common reality is very much perceived. However Frost is not attempting to let us know how nature functions.

4. Significance of Nature in Man's life: Such a large number of abstract essayists' uses Nature in their work. William Wordsworth is one of them. Nature is critical figure in human's life. It helps us from numerous points of view. For Example :Trees, water, seasons… that all are normal things and as a result of them we effectively survive. Nature is particular and free from man. Man "keeps the universe alone," despite the fact that he may get out for "counter love," he won't discover it. Nature is the most imperative normal for Frost's ballad.

5. Major Theme of Frost’s poetry Nature: Communication Everyday Life Communication Rural Life versus Urban Life Isolation of the Individual

6. Nature Nature is first and most important characteristic of Frost’s poem. Frost places a great deal of importance on Nature in all of his collections. Because of the time he spent in New England, the majority of pastoral scenes that he describes are inspired by specific locations in New England. However, Frost does not limit himself to stereotypical pastoral themes such as sheep and shepherds. Frost also presents the natural world as one that inspires deep metaphysical thought in the individuals who are exposed to it (as in "Birches" and "The Sound of Trees"). For Frost, Nature is not simply a background for poetry, but rather a central character in his works.

7. Everyday Life Frost is very interested in the activities of everyday life, because it is this side of humanity that is the most "real" to him. Even the most basic act in a normal day can have numerous hidden meanings that need only to be explored by a poetic mind . For example, In the poem "Mowing," the simple act of mowing hay with a scythe is transformed into a discussion of the value of hard work and the traditions of the New England courtyard.

8. Communication Communication or the lack thereof, appears as a significant theme is several of Frost's poems, as Frost presents it as the only possible escape from isolation and despair. Unfortunately, Frost also makes it clear that communication is extremely difficult to achieve. For example ,“ Home Burial "Frost describes two terrible events: the death of a child and the destruction of a marriage. The death of the child is tragic, but inability of the husband and wife to communicate with each other and express their grief about the loss is what ultimately destroys the marriage. Frost highlights this inability to communicate by writing the poem in free verse dialogue; each character speaks clearly to the reader, but neither is able to understand the other.

9. Isolation of the Individual This theme is closely related to the theme of communication. The majority of the characters in Frost's poems are isolated in one way or another. Even the characters that show no sign of depression or loneliness, such as the narrators in "The Sound of Trees" or "Fire and Ice," are still presented as detached from the rest of society, isolated because of their unique perspective.

10. Rural Life versus Urban Life This theme relates to Frost's interest in Nature and everyday life. Frost's experience growing up in New England exposed him to a particular way of life that seemed less complicated and yet more meaningful than the life of a city dweller. Frost has more opportunities to find metaphysical meaning in everyday tasks and explore the relationship between mankind and nature through the glimpses of rural life and farming communities that he expresses in his poetry.

11. Conclusion: In Frost's commonality with his perspectives about nature, assumes a more pivotal part than data about his life, readers ought to welcome the part of nature in his work . Ice's tendency verse is so fantastic and normal for his verse it must be given an unmistakable place in any record of his specialty. What he finds in nature is erotic pleasure; he is additionally delicate to the world's richness and man's relationship to the dirt.
