It is the one that stands out most in my mind when I was in school. I think the word that you are looking for is narrative. I love that poem.

But they're forgetting the term for the form, which isn't very well known, since it's Persian and very difficult to write in English. It's called a rubaiyat. I bet that's the word you were thinking of, right? People are right when they claim it’s iambic tetrameter.

What do you mean by "kind" of poem? Are you looking for the name of the meter used? It's eight syllables/line. Four feet/ iambic tetrameter. The link, below, has some good stuff and other examples, to boot. The rhyme scheme = aaba, ccdc, etc. The typical interpretation is that this poem is a metaphor, that Frost is contemplating death, but realizes that he has "miles to go" before he "sleeps" in that way. The poet is the speaker, therefore, it's a first-person narrative. Hope this helps! I don’t have quite enough information to answer. What do you mean by "kind" of poem?
