Prompt: Both poems by Robert Frost explore the passage of time and life’s changing moments. Write about a time when something in your life changed more quickly than you expected. How does this experience connect to Frost’s idea that “Nothing gold can stay”?

 Prompt: There was a time when one of my closest friendships changed faster than I ever thought it would. We used to hang out almost every day, laugh about random stuff, and talk about everything. Then, without much warning, things started to fade, texts slowed down, conversations got shorter, and before I knew it, we hardly talked at all. It felt weird how something that used to be such a big part of my life could disappear so quickly.

It connects to Frost’s idea that “Nothing gold can stay” because that friendship was like something golden full of good memories and moments that felt like they’d last forever. But just like the first green of spring that eventually fades, that time didn’t last. It taught me that even the best parts of life change, and that’s what makes them so special when they happen.

summary: I don't really remember what we did in class on Monday

Reflection: I need to stop procrastinating my blog posts
