About the Poem
The poem by Robert Frost is about making choices in life.
The poet stands where two roads diverge in a forest and must choose one.
It shows how our decisions shape our future and how every choice has consequences.

Summary of Stanzas

He feels sorry that he cannot travel both.
He looks down one road as far as possible before deciding which to take.

It seems to have a better claim, but actually both roads are almost the same.

He says that taking the road less travelled by has made all the difference in his life.
