Emily Dickinson and Robert Frost have their own unique styles of poetry; however, each of their writings can connect to each other. What makes Emily Dickinson unique is the way she uses punctuation. Dickinson uses numerous amount of dashes in her poetry. The dashes show breaks in between the lines of her writings. The dashes could also represent open-ended endings, endings that are up to the reader's interpretation. She also uses many Biblical references that can relate to the subject of the poem. Imagery is a type of figurative language that Dickinson incorporates into her poem. Imagery enhances her poetry by creating a picture in the reader's head that either darkens or brightens the tone of the poem. In Robert Frost's poems, a major theme he focuses on, similar to Dickinson, is death. Frost uses symbolism to show death in his poems. In his poem, "Nothing Gold Can Stay," Frost alludes to death by using plants, another theme in his writings. Frost and Dickinson also use irony. In Frost's "A Late Walk," the speaker walks to the garden expecting a normal-looking garden; however, when he arrives, the garden is all wilted and dead. Dickinson uses irony effectively in "I heard a Fly buzz." When the speaker dies, they expect the King or God, but get a fly instead. Though Dickinson and Frost have their own unique voice and form, they relate to each other in more ways than not.

When I go up through the mowing field,
The headless aftermath,
Smooth-laid like thatch with the heavy dew,
Half closes the garden path.

And when I come to the garden ground,
The whir of sober birds
Up from the tangle of withered weeds
Is sadder than any words.

A tree beside the wall stands bare,
But a leaf that lingered brown,
Disturbed, I doubt not, by my thought,
Comes softly rattling down.

I end not far from my going forth
By picking the faded blue
Of the last remaining aster flower
To carry again to you.

Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

Wild nights – Wild nights!

Were I with thee

Wild nights should be

Our luxury!

"Futile – the winds –"

To a Heart in port –

Done with the Compass –

Done with the Chart!

Rowing in Eden –

Ah – the Sea!

Might I but moor – tonight –

In thee!

I heard a Fly buzz – when I died –

The Stillness in the Room

"Was like the Stillness in the Air –"

Between the Heaves of Storm –

The Eyes around – had wrung them dry –

And Breaths were gathering firm

For that last Onset – when the King

Be witnessed – in the Room –

I willed my Keepsakes – Signed away

What portion of me be

Assignable – and then it was

There interposed a Fly –

"With Blue – uncertain – stumbling Buzz –"

"Between the light – and me –"

And then the Windows failed – and then

I could not see to see –
