Answers
Answer:
In this first stanza, it is easy to notice that Frost is using an ABAAB rhyme scheme for this poem. A Road Not Taken opens with strong imagery, because of the diction used to depict two physical roads separating from each other in a "yellow wood" (which is observably a forest that is showcasing the colors of autumn). Line two is hasty to display the theme of regret, by revealing that the individual is "sorry" before he even decides which road to take. We basically find ourselves observing a very important moment, where he has to make a decision that is evidently difficult for him. Lines three through five, express that the individual is trying to see as far as he can down each road, to help him decide which one he should choose to take.
