Two Stages of a Frostian Choice


ahead, two paths diverged
in the woods --
journeying was hard

a fork in the forest
take it. yet be cautious --
deja vu all over again


The Roads I Have Traveled by ericcoliu


ahead, two roads diverged
in the dim woods --
the journey's been long

arriving at the fork
once again, I chose the road less traveled --
deja vu

It's a good allusion to Frost's The Road Less Taken and at the same time skillfully comments on it:


Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveller, 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

...Robert Frost

By the way, there are grammatical errors in your poem.

Two Stages of a Frostian Choice


two paths diverged
in the woods ahead, dark --
journeying is hard

come to a fork in forest
take it. yet be cautious --
deja vu all over again


The last line of each stanza is essentially complementary to each other.

Thank both of your for your reading and commenting. My poem was written in response to Frost's poem, which I think it is mis-read most of the time.

Yes, in The Road Not Taken, there is no road less travelled and the speaker is actually facing two identical paths. This poem is more about the difficulty of having to make choices in any way, and less concerned with the celebration of individual autonomy.

However, on first reading, the content of The Road Not Taken seems seductively moralistic, and American:

" Two roads diverged in a wood, I ......
I took the one less travelled by,
And that has made all the difference."

These lines above strike deep inside the American psyche, wrap the poem up, and become the core message: the virtues of self-reliance and personal independence.

An interesting interpretation of Frost's poem.

A forewarning?

Here is my take:


The Roads I Have Traveled


Ahead, two roads diverged
in the dim woods --
the journey's been long

arriving at the fork
once again, I chose the road less traveled --
deja vu

I concur! And I think the poem needs to be retitled as The Road Robert Frost Never Traveled.

Two different takes on Frost's poem.

浴恩福 写到:


Two Stages of a Frostian Choice


two paths diverged
in the woods ahead, dark --


The opening lines seem confusing to me.

For me, the road keeps forking and forking and forking no matter what road is taken.
