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;

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,

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.

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.

Sindhuja, I love this poem too!! Robert Frost isn't it? Yeah the toughest decision one can make in life is to take the road less traveled by!!

Many a time the safest road need not be the best road, the one less travelled the better road. Very nice Regards, Lakshmi Bhat

My favorite poem depends on what I am feeling.

If feeling particularly Buddhist, I'd immerse myself in Eliot and his brown gods, his melancholic 'I've measured out my life with coffee spoons' and his Fischer kings. There is a calm serenity when I read him.

If feeling anxious, I'd read Derek Walcott's Love After Love... which is a reminder everyone needs.

If feeling vindictive, well... then there's slam poetry... which deserves a piece of my soul too.
Warning: crude language, but it gets the message across and is a powerful performance.
