On the other hand Blackberrying by Sylvia Plath is written in three stanzas unlike the other two poems‚ however‚ all three poems have a line which changes

On ‘Acquainted with the Night’ ‘Acquainted with the Night’ by Robert Frost is the kind of poem I would read if I were up late at night‚ feeling disconnected from my friends and family.

Critical response Robert Frost –The Oven Bird This poem contains 14 lines and is written mainly in iambic pentameter with a little variation in some lines. Each line rhymes with some other line‚ but there is no regular rhyme pattern.

As mentioned‚ the base metrical pattern of this poem is
