Even though it isn't my poem, I thought that this poem deserved some spotlight and review.

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; 5

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, 10

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. 15

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. 20

I think that this one should go in the All things literature section as you did not create it, just like I think that artwork that is not created by the user should be posted in the museum section.

This has always been one of my most favorite works of his. I think the first time I heard it was sometime in middle school and it just kinda stuck with me throughout life. It really is a metaphore for life and the decisions one makes while looking down the forking paths of their future. Funny enough when I try to tell people about it.. I can only remember the last 3 lines.
