Explanation:
The poem 'Dust of Snow' by Robert Frost has multiple figures of speech, namely Metaphor, Alliteration, Synecdoche, and Assonance. Metaphor is used when the poet compared the falling snow flakes from hemlock tree to dust
Personification: Personification is to give human qualities to inanimate objects. In this poem, “Fire” and “Ice” are capable of destruction. Therefore, the poet personifies fire and ice by giving them a mind which is capable of destroying almost anything

Answer:
DUST OF SNOW :-
Rhyme scheme..
Each of the two stanzas in "Dust of Snow" follows the same simple rhyme scheme, that is, ABAB. Only one imperfect rhyme occurs in this poem between the "crow" in the 1st line and the "snow" in the 3rd line.
Metaphor..
this poetic device is used when a covert comparison is made between two different things or ideas. In this poem, the poet uses the device of metaphor in the 3rd line of the 1st stanza, when he compares the mass of snowflakes atop the hemlock tree with dust.
Synecdoche..
This poetic device is u ed in many ways to represent one thing with the help of an entirely different one. In this poem, the poet uses this device to represent the whole in the 1st line of the 2nd stanza. He says that his heart" has undergone a change of mood because the crow has made the snowflakes from the hemlock
tree rain down on him. However, he is now experiencing a better mood as a result of the actions of the crow.
Symbolism..
The symbolism in this poem is very subtle and hard to catch. However, if we read between the lines, we will be able to understand just how apt the symbols used by the poet here are. The poet is having a bad day and he is clear about that. However, to make us understand the severity of his sullen mood, he introduces us to the symbol of the hemlock tree. Hence, the hemlock tree, from which the poison is said to be made, is a symbol of death. The next symbol that the poet introduces to us is that of the crow. The crow is an ambiguous symbol and could stand for many things. Generally, the crow is considered to be the ugliest among all birds. Hence, it could be another sight to degrade the poet's mood once again.
FIRE AND ICE :-
Rhyme scheme..
The thyme scheme is: aba abc bcb with ice repeated twice and also contained within twice/suffice. This clever twist on the rhyme means that the initial opening fire gradually fades as the poem progresses, with ice taking over.
Metaphor..
In the poem, "fire" and "ice' are metaphors for 'desire' and 'hate'. In the third line of the poem, the poet has simply implied metaphor in 'to taste desire". Frost compares desire to food; some thing which can be tasted.
Antithesis..
Fire is the antithesis of ice.
Symbolism..
The poem is all about the two symbols of fire and ice. When the poet associates fire with desire and ice with hate, we know that fire and ice are symbols of human behaviours and emotions.
Enjambment..
Fire and ice are two destructive elements that can lead to the destruction of this world. This poetic device
used in the last three lines of the poem.
