Detailed explanation-1: -The Road Not Taken, poem by Robert Frost, published in The Atlantic Monthly in August 1915 and used as the opening poem of his collection Mountain Interval (1916). Written in iambic tetrameter, it employs an abaab rhyme scheme in each of its four stanzas.
Detailed explanation-2: -"The Road Not Taken” consists of four stanzas. Each of these stanzas has five lines, known as quintains. This poem also has a specific rhyme scheme of ABAAB, and it mostly follows a meter of iambic tetrameter.
Detailed explanation-3: -Robert Frost wrote “The Road Not Taken” as a joke for a friend, the poet Edward Thomas. 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.
Detailed explanation-4: -The poem takes place in a forest in autumn, after the leaves have begun to change color.
