  • Compose a poem that includes at least 1-2 lines from Robert Frost’s ‘The Road Not Taken’ poem:

This is one of my favorite poems!

It Was You

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
Was pleased at first, thought all was good
But found I’m lost and can’t decide
If I should keep walking or run and hide.
The trees were strange, not one I knew
The air was cold and the wind blew
The sky grew dark ’cause it was night
I felt my fear grow into fright
I took off running even though I’m not fast
I’ve outrun my fear many times in the past
When suddenly light was clearly in view
Some safety appeared and it was you.

‘The 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.
