The Road Not Taken

-Robert Frost

I chose this poem because I thought that it had a deep meaning to it. I think it means that one choice affects the other. Like tree branches, each one leads to other smaller ones that aren't the same as others.

-Personification: Because it was grassy and wanted wear.

-Euphony: Somewhere ages and ages hence.

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,
