The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost

The poem "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost is an extremely well known poem. There is something about the poem that is just appealing to read. I think that a lot of people can relate to this poem, in that they want to take the road less traveled. It is the nature of our society for each person to want to be unique and be independent. The image of a path is a common metaphor for life. I don't think there are many people who consciously want to follow everyone else. Well, I am sure some people out there do. However, there is more of a sense of adventure in taking the road less traveled. I think that is the reason that this poem is so well liked that it is now cliche. I am not a huge fan of poetry, but I do like this poem. I like to think of myself as a person who chooses to take a different path, and I hope it will make a difference in the end.
