Symbols

Symbol


A symbol is a key object in which the poem revolves around. 


A Patch of Old Snow

There's a patch of old snow in a corner
That I should have guessed
Was a blow-away paper the rain
Had brought to rest.

It is speckled with grime as if
Small print overspread it,
The news of a day I've forgotten --If I ever read it.Robert Frost



The significance of a symbol is that it tells the poem. It is important 
because without it no one would understand what it is about. What a 
symbol ads to a poem is clarification and meaning. It makes poetry 
better because it reaches out to people and some may be able to relate.
