I'm with you, Steph-- I've never been one to understand poetry very well. However, I love Robert Frost's work. Mostly because I CAN understand it, haha.
I've grown particularly attached to this one recently, and anyone who shares my current obsession should be able to see why.
"Fire and Ice"
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 know that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
