The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost
5.0
I think about this poem every day of my life, and I have it mounted on canvas in my office at work. I don't consider myself a poetry buff, and usually I can't follow poems or understand their meaning. Aside from this one, I can count on one hand the number of poems I've ever found that really spoke to me: Gift by Czeslaw Milosz, To Look at Any Thing by John Moffitt, Don't Quit by Edgar A. Guest, and You Reading This, Be Ready by William Stafford. That's it. Those are what I would consider Poetry's Greatest Hits.
That's what is so great about poetry: it's personal. It either speaks to you, or it's just lines of words. Everyone has their own "Poetry's Greatest Hits."
The Road Not Taken speaks to me. It's about the weight of our choices, but it is presented so eloquently with beautiful phrases such as "and both that morning equally lay in leaves no step had trodden black..."
And then for someone to take these beautiful words and make a book such as this to match it...
Wow.
