'sounding like frost's poems' is the definition.
'rhymes' can be an answer for 'poems' (rhyme is a kind of poem). I am not certain of the 'sounding like frost's' bit.

'sounding like frost's poems' is the wordplay.
'sounding like' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'frost' becomes 'rime' (rime is frost formed by freezing water vapour).
'poems' becomes 's' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'rime' sounds like 'rhyme'.
'rhyme'+'s'='RHYMES'
