The Road Not Taken
Robert Frost (1874–1963)
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,
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.
I heard of this poem previously. I knew this poem is very famous. After I read it, I realized that it was about making a decision. I always felt hard when I am making a decision. This poem appealed to me a lot. I shouldn’t take easy way.

I too enjoy this poem. Try to keep ellaborating on your own thoughts. I would have loved to hear more reflections. Did you read this poem for a class before?
Hi Andrea!
I read this poem, too, and I really liked it. I thought it was easier to understand than other poems because it is straightfoward. I think this poem is about a person trying to choose a path to take which will influence his life greatly. I am very bad at deciding so it takes me ages and ages to make my final decision and that's how I felt connected with the speaker in this poem.
what the ...
i just finished to put this poem on my blog as my third one -_-!!!
