Midad AL-Adab Refereed Quarterly Journal

Abstract

Every poet has his own conception of writing poetry. If we trace back the history of poetry, we can see that poets have been taking many roles and assigned themselves different missions. Sometimes they are introduced as teachers, moralists, educationalists and guardians of society. On other occasions, they appear as philosophers and prophets who are concerned with moral values and the good of society. While in some other times they act like leaders and politicians who take the responsibility to guide people to better future. As far as this paper is concerned, the poet appears as a farmer who plants and reaps ideas for his poems. Though Robert Frost and Seamus Heaney belong to different nations and cultures, they meet in this particular area. They are classified by critics as nature poets; as they reflect the rural experiences in their poetry. In some of their poetic works they tried to link poetry to farming, and the reader can see much of this by reading their poems.
