Defining the wood with one feature prefigures one of the essential ideas of the poem: the insistence that a single decision can transform a life. In his description of the trees, Frost uses one detail-the yellow leaves-and makes it emblematic of the entire forest.
Out walking, the speaker comes to a fork in the road and has to decide which path to follow: Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, “The Road Not Taken” begins with a dilemma, as many fairytales do. … Mea culpa.” However, Frost liked to quip, “I’m never more serious than when joking.” As his joke unfolds, Frost creates a multiplicity of meanings, never quite allowing one to supplant the other-even as “The Road Not Taken” describes how choice is inevitable. Soon after writing the poem in 1915, Frost griped to Thomas that he had read the poem to an audience of college students and that it had been “taken pretty seriously … despite doing my best to make it obvious by my manner that I was fooling. When they went walking together, Thomas was chronically indecisive about which road they ought to take and-in retrospect-often lamented that they should, in fact, have taken the other one.

but, as I see it, if we pick wisely according to our circumstance, things work out just as they were intended. In retrospect, as we review the choices we’ve made over the years, it becomes clear whether they were good or bad. We should carefully consider our choices as we pass through this life because our choices will determine our future but no matter which road we choose to follow, we will miss something that would have been found along the road we didn’t take. There have been many interpretations as to the exact meaning of his words but to me, it’s about choices and not being bogged down with regret for too long about them.
