same poet, Robert Frost, “The Road Not Taken” and “Carpe Diem” both reflect a vaguely different style and moral of the poem. Despite conveying an entirely different message beneath the unique stories, Robert Frost manages to use the same figurative languages for both poems, such as personification, repetition, and natural imagery.
