Frosty Form

As I write this I am wearing glasses, so expect studious and astute comments with a dollop of slurred phrases for I cannot see. I digress, we know from our previous knowledge of Robert Frost that he realates form to content; but how, we ask. He enjoys putting rhyme scheme on portions of his poems to give them order where there is no order and/or panache. Order being an attempt at man made control within the natural world; ie, Storm Fear, and Mending Wall!! Anyways, in our first example of Sherman Alexie he gives a rhyme scheme to a stanza wherein man is attempting to control nature by killing birds and actually making a business of it as if there is no emotion involved. Alexie goes on to say that the birds didnt need to be killed, they just needed to be moved.
