__The Road Not Taken__

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. By: Robert Frost

The Road not Taken is a great poem. It's basically about the hardships of making a decision.There's always choices you can make and sometimes you don't always make the best ones, but sometimes you do. This poems uses several good poetic devices. One that it uses is its use of rhyming. The rhyme scheme is for the most part, A ,B ,B ,A. Also, there's a use of repetition where he repeats the use of the two roads, stressing the point it's hard to choose.

Fire and Ice by Robert Frost

Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I've tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice

This poems uses a poetic device called rhyming once again. It uses A, B, A, A for the most. It tells of how people think and hope the world will end. It gives an example of what fire would be and what ice would be.

Scary Kids Scaring Kids My Darkest Hour

Let me up Let me out I am suffocating I can't live without this all behind me Is this almost over now The longest night, my darkest hour Where you will find me Pale, lost and dying From the truth

You left me at the altar My heart in my hand I am tired and broken Haunted by memories of The life you've stolen I am tired and broken You left me at the altar My heart in my hand (you left me, I won't forget) In my hand (you left me and I won't forget)

The meaning of this part of the song, My Darkest Hour, is sadness. The narrator of this poem gave everyone to someone and was abandoned at the last moment, "at the altar." They offered their heart "in their hand," and ended up lonely and forgotten and feels like giving up. This song basically describes someone in a world of sadness.
