example of Robert Frosts amazing ability as a writer to captivate his audience from the very beginning to the very end of his poems. Frost starts with a simple "y" in the road accented with the yellow woods surrounding it and the narrator. We conclude that Frost wrote this as almost a jest for would often when taking a walk people sigh saying they wished that they had chosen a different route. This is not just an ordinary sigh to Frost though; there is more underneath it, much more meaning than just a breath. Also, he concludes with a masterful ending about the choice upon which the narrator has decided. The poem is a stellar example of how life choices are made alone with only nature as a guide. The poem also an insight into the narrators thought process about which path he wishes to choose, forever. Furthermore Frost ties the whole masterpiece together with tetrameter meter and an abaab pattern in each of the four stanzas. As William G. ODonnell said of Robert Frost, "Although one persons interpretation may be superior to anothers, sooner or later you have no choice but to venture out on your own and decide what, if anything, a particular poem is all about." So, please go and read "The Road Not Taken" and discover the meaning of the poem for yourself, as or risk not discovering it at all....
