Never Goes in Dreams
If we compare him with John Keats then we realise how much he is different from the romantic poets. John Keats likes to escape from reality and finds it more or less impossible to stay and face the real world. In fact, every romantic poet does so but bare reading of Robert Frost’s poetry transpires that he never leaves the real world. No evidence can be found in his poetry that he has ever left reality and found pleasure in dreams.
Hence, it is also another one of the most important characteristics or salient features of Robert Frost poetry that he presents balanced philosophy. He likes to stay in reality even after a strong belief that the world is not perfect.

Dramatic Poetry
Robert Frost always tries to tell a story through his poems. His poetry creates an emotional link between his readers and the audience through behaviour. Frost’s poems are based on plots. In writing dramatic poems, he is different from conventional poets because unlike them his poetry is not narrative. Randal Jarrell expresses his opinion about Robert Frost and his poetry:-
“Frost’s virtues are extraordinary. No other living poet has written so well about the actions of ordinary men; his wonderful dramatic monologues or dramatic scenes came out of knowledge of people that few poets have had, and they are written in a verse that uses, sometimes with absolute mystery, the rhythms of actual speech.”
Randal Jarrell

There are poets who can write better dramatic poems; however, blending dramatic effects with a philosophy of life, based on reality, make the poems of Robert Frost extraordinary.
