At the Crossroads | |
| Collected Poems (1930) / int_1876ce6c | comment |
At the Crossroads: "The Road Not Taken" is all about this. Or at least, it's commonly read to be all about this. Frost apparently meant it to be a satire of indecision, and was irritated in later years when he realized that invokedpeople were taking it more seriously than he'd intended. | |

There's No Place Like Home | |
| Collected Poems (1930) / int_25e44fa8 | comment |
There's No Place Like Home: Discussed Trope in "The Death of the Hired Man". Silas the itinerant laborer has come back to the farm of Mary and Warren after some time away. Warren isn't thrilled about this, as Silas once went off and left him in the lurch with work to be done, but Mary recognizes that Silas is terribly ill and has really come to the farm to die. Silas has a well-to-do brother, but, as Mary and Warren come to realize, apparently their farm felt more like home to Silas than his estranged brother's house. | |

| Collected Poems (1930) / int_269e82c1 | comment |

World-Wrecking Wave | |
| Collected Poems (1930) / int_2b9ae056 | comment |
World-Wrecking Wave: A metaphorical one on "Once by the Pacific". The speaker, looking at waves crashing against a cliff, gets a feeling "a night of dark intent/Was coming, and not only a night, an age." | |

Property Line | |
| Collected Poems (1930) / int_404031ce | comment |
Property Line: Discussed Trope in "Mending Wall". The speaker considers that "Something there is that doesn't love a wall", and the natural tendency to tear walls down. The speaker wonders why walls are necessary. His more conventional neighbor, mending the wall along with the speaker from the other side, says merely "Good fences make good neighbors." | |

Painful Rhyme | |
| Collected Poems (1930) / int_71a34999 | comment |
Painful Rhyme: In "The Last Mowing" Frost rhymes "season" with "trees on", despite the fact that when properly pronounced the last vowels don't rhyme. | |

Gray Rain of Depression | |
| Collected Poems (1930) / int_a8982539 | comment |
Gray Rain of Depression: Played with and ultimately subverted in "My November Guest". Frost's "Sorrow" (the titular guest) "thinks these dark days of autumn rain/Are beautiful as days can be." But what Sorrow does not know is that the speaker has grown to love the rainy November days that come before snow. Played straight in "Acquainted With the Night", in which the speaker says "I have walked out in rain—and back in rain." He talks of looking down "the saddest city lane", and how he hears cries, "But not to call me back or say good-by." The poem is generally regarded as a metaphor for deression. | |

Lyrical Shoehorn | |
| Collected Poems (1930) / int_ac69f953 | comment |
Lyrical Shoehorn: Frost would do this sometimes to make a rhyme, like when he needed to rhyme a line with "gray", so he wrote "the gray of the moss of walls were they." ("Pan With Us") | |

Sonnet | |
| Collected Poems (1930) / int_b4673cf0 | comment |
Sonnet: Frost wrote several, mostly earlier in his career. "Into My Own" uses an idiosyncratic AABB rhyme scheme that almost no classic sonnets use. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Collected Poems (1930) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Frost admired fellow poet Ridgely Torrence enough to dedicate a poem to him. "A Passing Glimpse" is dedicated to Torrence "On Last Looking into His 'Hesperides'", Hesperides being one of Torrence's books. | |
