**Robert Frost was known as a colloquial rural writer who used complex ideas to create poetry that would change the 19th century. He received four Pulitzer prizes throughout his life. This allowed for him to become one of the most famous poets in American history. Frost did have a very disturbing family life. Both of his parents died young and mental illness ran in his family. With everything going on in Frosts life he could escape into his poetry and plays and that is one of the reasons he was so successful. ** **Canis Major ** **By ** **Robert frost ** **The great Overdog ** **That heavenly beast ** **With a star in one eye ** **Gives a leap in the east. **

**He dances upright ** **All the way to the west ** **And never once drops ** **On his forefeet to rest. **

**I'm a poor underdog, ** **But to-night I will bark ** **With the great Overdog ** **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 12px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">That romps through the dark. ** **This poem allows you to look into the star system Canis major and compare it to a real dog barking in the night. He uses west and east to give you insight into where the star systems are, and whatever dog it be whether its Canis major or the regular dog, they will both be romping in the dark.** **<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Major God **
