Robin Hood by John Keats

Post by v2melody »

Hello fellow poetry enthusiasts!

I'm excited to kick off our Classic Poetry Discussion with one of my favorite poets, John Keats. Today, we're looking at his poem "Robin Hood," which beautifully captures the nostalgia for a bygone era of English folklore.

Keats' vivid imagery and lyrical style always captivate me, and this poem is no exception. I'm particularly struck by how he weaves together the mythical elements of the Robin Hood legend with a sense of loss for a simpler time.

What are your thoughts on this poem? Does Keats' portrayal of Robin Hood and his merry men resonate with you? How do you interpret the contrast between the romanticized past and the poet's present?

I'd love to hear your interpretations and what this poem means to you. Let's dive into Keats' world of forest whispers and merry outlaws!

Feel free to share your favorite lines or any questions you have about the poem. I wonder which is your favourite of the 4 musical arrangements I created from the poem? Looking forward to a lively discussion!
