The Road Not Taken.

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.

Response By Adam Corbin.

What is the poem about? This is a question the author is trying to get across is that you and only you can pick the way to travel. Now you can be answer many different ways do to how you answer the question.
What I think Robert Frost is trying to get across in this poem is that there are two main ways to take in life. The road that everyone takes and the road that only so few dare to taken because they just fallow the crowd. And it also says that once you take the road the you chose theirs no looking back.
In the poem it says “I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference”. I think that he’s say that sometimes the road less traveled is sometimes the way to venture.
