"The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost
I believe that Robert Frost is a classical writer of poetry. A famous poem, "The Road Not Taken," is one of his that I have read before, and in my perspective, a poem that is straight to the point. That is definitely something I really like about this poem, which is why I chose to reflect on it. As an overview, I believe that the poem is about a person choosing a path that many people do not choose, whether it being right or wrong. Beginning with the middle of line 3, to the end of line 5, I read it as if Frost is talking about the journey of life. We can only see the immediate future, and we can't see past the "undergrowth." Lines 14 and 15 are another pair of lines with major significance in my mind. When he writes, "Yet knowing how way leads on to way,/ I doubted if i should ever come back." Once again, I believe that Frost is writing on a life voyage. Here, I depict his writing as if he is looking back at some certain decisions, and is stating that if he were back in the same position, he would change what he did.
Robert Frost is a classic poet. The poem "THe Road Not Taken," is a very literal poem that does describe two roads and one path in particular that seems to be less traveled. This path is not less traveled for any specific reason, but just because. Maybe this road is less traveled because people assume the first one is better to take. In Frost's poem he takes the one less traveld, just because he chooses to.
