"Once by the Pacific" by Robert Frost is about Frost's vision of the event that is opposite of creation, almost like a destruction of the earth. This poem has a religious connection, because in the Bible, when God creates the universe He says, "Let there be light" (Genisis 1:3) and in Frost's poem he says that the world will end when God says, "Put out the light..." I thought that this poem was very interesting, and I liked how it had a religious connection. Also, I like the rhythm and the rhyme of a sonnet, especially Robert Frost's. This poem is a sonnet, and it has a rhyme scheme of AABBCC etc. Another poetic device in this poem is personification when the author says, "Great waves looked over others coming in...." and waves do not have eyes and cannot "look." Also, the author uses similes, when he says, "Like locks blown forward in the gleam of eyes..." where he is comparing the clouds to locks. Lastly, because this poem is a sonnet, it uses iambic pentameter. Overall, I really enjoyed reading this poem and I would love to read more poems by Robert Frost.
