The poem is structured with nine lines, each with a varying amount of syllables. Three lines that discuss fire and they each have nine syllables, while the other six lines discuss ice and have either four or eight syllables. Frost also uses some rather creative verbs in his poem to describe fire and ice. In his poem Frost says, “From what I’ve tasted of desire/ I hold with those who favor fire,” (3 and 4) and “I think I know enough of hate/ To say that for destruction ice/ is also great.” (6,7, and 8) From lines three and four Frost uses the verbs tasted and favor which are verbs that show more emotion with fire, which shows that acts of emotion can be like a fire.

This rhyme scheme, along with the varying syllables, creates a very unique flow for the poem, making the audience read it differently than other poems. Robert Frost uses some rather spectacular symbols in his poem to help give the poem an even deeper sense of meaning and purpose. In the article “Robert…

Mrs. Stern had me clap my hands together to determine how syllables are in the particular word that she assigned me. Nevertheless, as my second year of kindergarten progressed, I was able to read (not on grade level), write and communicate—thanks to Mrs. Stern’s reading and writing class activities.
