Question

write poetic devices and rhyming scheme for "Road Not Taken"​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Poem is as follows:

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveller, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, 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.

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 travelled by,

And that has made all the difference.

Explanation:

The poetic devices are :

1. Symbolism: two roads that represent two or more choices in our life
2. Anaphora: ‘and’ repeated at the beginning of lines 2, 3 and 4
3. Alliteration: Wanted Wear ‘w’ sound is repeating

   4. Repetition: ‘Ages’ is repeated. ‘Two roads diverged in a wood’- this sentence is repeated in stanzas 1 and 4.
