Robert Frost

I particularly like all of Robert Frost poems. I think they are fairly easy to understand. My favorite of Frosts' poems is "A Road Not Taken". The Poem really made me understand how he felt. It's to my belief that he felt regret. He makes it seem like he should have gone on the other road. The last lines of this poem support my theory,

"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."


My second favorite of Frosts' poems is "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening". This poem seemed depressing to me, but I felt it was easy to comprehend. In my opinion I think he is talking about suicide in this poem. It's like he wants to end his life but he has " miles to go before he sleeps." Which to me interprets he knows he has much longer to live but is dreading it.
