When reading the poem "The road not taken" by Robert Frost, identify the rhyme scheme, the figurative language or poetic devices used, and what literary elements you can find.

The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost
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.

Some things I can conclude after reading it are...

-The Rhyme scheme is ABAAB

-It is jam packed with metaphor and sensory/imagery language

-There are also elements of assonance and alliteration.

I hope this helps!
