The Road not Taken

In this poem "The Road not Taken" the literally meaning is pretty obvious.A traveler comes to a fork in the road and needs to decide which way to go to continue his journey.After much mental debate the traveler picks the road "less traveled by".The figurative meaning is not too hidden either.The poem descibes the tough choices people stand for when traveling the road of life.The words "sorry and "sigh" make the tone of the poem somewhat gloomy.The traveler regrets leaving the posibility of the road not chosen behind.He realizes he probably wont pass this way again.I think this is a good poem because it teaches you a lesson in a way that life is about choices and for us as individuals to make the best decisions possible without regrets.
