      1. Alliteration: This device can be spotted in all the verses of stanza one and three, where similar consonant sounds are repeated in the same verse. For example, the first line of the poem repeats the sound of /w/ and “t”. 
      2. Anthropomorphism: This device can be identified when the poet gives the human characteristics of “thought occurrence” to the speaker’s horse.
      3. Imagery: Frost uses wonderful imagery throughout the poem, for example, the last line of stanza two.
      4. Enjambment: This device is when a thought is broken into several verses before its competition. In this poem, lines 3-12 are examples of Enjambment.
