Poem

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.

I chose this poem because it is one of my favorites. It is one of my favorite poems because I love the idea of individualism shown in this piece.

"It is difficult to get the news from poetry, yet men die miserably everyday for lack of what is found there"-William Carlos Williams

I think this quote means that poetry can be as hard to get as someone's death. We need more poetry than hardcore facts. We need to enjoy poetry because it is an unbelievable type of writing. News is ok, but symbolism in poetry and poetry itself is so motivating and inspiring.
