Enjoying a gift possesed long but ignored till now

Well I just read a few good poems,close to beautiful.One is by Robert Frost which to me is beautiful for it talks about a reluctance to end a love.Another by Robert Frost is Fire and Ice,way better than a certain Pepsi Add.I also choose one by John Montague.Maybe my own poems will improve at last.
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 favour 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.

Reluctance
Out through the fields and the woods
And over the walls I have wended;
I have climbed the hills of view
And looked at the world, and descended;
I have come by the highway home,
And lo, it is ended.

The leaves are all dead on the ground,
Save those that the oak is keeping
To ravel them one by one
And let them go scraping and creeping
Out over the crusted snow,
When others are sleeping.

And the dead leaves lie huddled and still,
No longer blown hither and thither;
The last long aster is gone;
The flowers of the witch-hazel wither;
The heart is still aching to seek,
But the feet question 'Whither?'

Ah, when to the heart of man
Was it ever less than a treason
To go with the drift of things,
To yield with a grace to reason,
And bow and accept the end
Of a love or a season?

By John Montague:The Golden Hook
Two fish float:

one slowly downstream
into the warm
currents of the known

the other tugging
against the stream,
disconsolate twin,

the golden
marriage hook
tearing its throat.

ATTEMPT BY ME(hope its better than the earlier choices,though Death Of Girt was good)
Kites fly in the sky
I walk past pleased
Taking the sights
Winds cool call

But there was a boy
Truly pitiful by sight
Far more lonely inside
Life seemed drained

So I watched him
Many just walked
Others ran past
Kids laughed around

But still the boy sat
Void and motionless
Tears welling up
Clothes torn up

Suddenly he smiled
A man came close
A crack was heard
I jumped in shock

The boy laughed loudly
I ran forward swiftly
He smiled pleasantly
I knew he slept at last
