I tried searching this online but didn't really find the answer I was looking for. I want to know if anything motivated Frost in writing about poetry? Did he live through a certain event or experience that inspired him? Was it he's home or family that encouraged him? Or does he just choose that type of poetry? I really want to know.

This sounds like a homework assignment, not like idle curiosity.

I Googled your question. The answer was the first "hit." And there were more after it.

This is an odd question. Who can really know why a person chooses one thing over another? I'm a painter, I usually paint landscapes or animals. Why? I'm good at it, and I like it. I'm not good at drawing people, so I don't do it.

Only Robert Frost really knows why he wrote what he wrote.

Actually, there IS a reason or two as to why he preferred to write poetry over prose.
