Road Not Taken - by Robert Frost

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.

My Perception:

The Road Not Taken is my favourite poem.

Im not a kind of guy who used to read poems and discuss such stuffs.

But this poem made me think the path i'd wish to chose @ each stage of my life.

The decisions might be right or wrong but it gave me the determination to take decisions.Although it didnt give courage to take the least travelled road, it gave me

courage to travel atleast in one road.

When ever I read this poem , i used to think of a imaginary road which gets diverged and a confused man , thinking as to take which road.It certainly reveals a black heart upon close reading.

In Short "I got completely immersed in the depth of this poem."
