In mostly all of his poems, Frost uses personification. In "The Road Not Taken," Frost personifies the two different roads that he can take. He makes the roads bend and lay and demonstrates the different characteristics of each road. The purpose of this is to show that each road is completely different and had different things to offer. While on is a secure path, the other is more mysterious. Also, one seems destroyed by the abundance of travelers that have gone that way while the other offers more beauty because people have not disturbed it. Frost also utilizes personification in "Spring Pools." He brings the pools to life by giving them "powers" to "blot," "drink," and "sweep." This emphasizes the things that the pools can do and shows their importance in nature.
Through out his poems, similes are also apparent. In "Spring Pools," he compares the "pools" to "flowers" twice. He shows how they both "chill and shiver" and how they both will "soon be gone." It is important to note that he is comparing nature to nature because it emphasizes his infatuation with nature. In "my November Guest," Frost demonstrates the use of repetition and alliteration. He repeats "she" and specifically repeats "she's glad" to reinforce that she is happy. He uses alliteration to describe the trees in saying that they were "desolate, deserted." This reflects how nature is fading away and this further reveals the theme of entropy.
Frost seems to use many different kinds of literary devices in his poems. He does this to keep the reader interested and show them the different techniques to deliver his messages. Even though he uses different techniques, he still always reflects back to nature, which shows his interest and awe in nature. He specifically uses personification, similes, alliteration and repetition to accentuate his poems. With his specific style and literary devices he is able to convey his thoughts and compare them to things in nature.
