Some say Robert Frost had no embossed style. As he wrote in a letter to a contemporary, "style in prose or verse is that which indicates how the writer takes himself and what he is saying." Indeed Frost held style as dominion when writing, but his style cannot really be pinpointed down to one defined way. A close conclusion to his style is that he uses different styles depending upon a number of criteria; theme, length, portrayal, etc. are some criteria that he used in determining how to write each poem.
Others may say that his style is the choice of words, known as diction.
Many of his poems rhyme, and have eight syllables per line, in a very rhythmic, measured flow.
Not all his poems are about happiness for example The Oven Bird and The Most of It Typically, his poems revolve around nature and he likes to keep the tone of them conversational. He also likes to show the cyclic nature of things e.g. in No...
The style of his writing is very simplistic, using colloquial diction. Frost wrote dialogue in his poetry using natural speech patterns, with aspects in it recognizable as New England in their form and phrasing. His poetry was also very natural in its wording, using words that most people can understand and that make his poetry seem practical and ordinary. There is nothing complicated about the structure of Frost's poems; they seem to be mere translations of everyday events into poetry. Instead of using elaborate phrasings in the lines, his poems speak in a natural, easily comprehensible manner. This simple way of writing is an effect of living in New England, where Frost lived a relatively simple life. That way of life is brought into his poetry in his laconic speech, which allowed him to convey more elaborate ideas and thoughts without stating them out rightly.
The subjects of Frost's writing are also simple, a reflection of his life in New England. He wrote of woods, birds, and other parts of a simple life inNew England. His works, however, are not only applicable to New England because they can be seen as universal interpretations of common situations. Many people can relate to Frost's subjects because of their overall simplicity; the situations Frost portrays could essentially happen anywhere. However, the inspiration for these subjects came to Frost from living in New England, and the reactions of the people in his poems are often characteristic of those who live in New England.
Frost's writing, simple though it may seem, is also formal in its verse. Frost was very strict in following the meter of his poems, as well as the general connections in content. To Frost, form was essential, and he balanced his rhymes in a controlled manner, the same way he controlled his portrayal of ideas. His rhyme scheme is often so blatant that it seems he must have carefully planned it out to make each line work with every other; one is able to discern the pattern of a poem after having read some because of the adherence to form.
The tone of Frost's writing is also very formal; he emphasizes, in his own words, speech rhythms and the "sound of sense". His poems often reflect self-restraint, with careful attention to reproduce the diction and rhythms of actual speech of New England farmers.
There is a certain artistry to Frost's style as well, stemming from the effect of New England on Frost's sense of poetry. The language is often lyrical, blending thought and emotion with symbolic imagery in his New England speech. The greatness of Frost's poetry lies in his artistry in language and depiction of New England life, using delicately formed phrases of d description. The artistry in Frost's poetry goes beyond the simple ways of life it portrays to bring them out with a certain mark of individuality.
