What are the poetic devices in the "Road not taken"

Dear student,

Some of the poetic devices used in the poem 'The Raod Not Taken' are:
- Metaphor: 'road' is a metaphor for life. 'fork in the road' si a metaphor for choices.
- Assonance: 'somewhere ages and ages hence'
- Consonance: 'two roads diverging in a yellow wood
- Alliteration: 'wanted wear'
- Personification: the 'road' is personified
- Parallelism:
'And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could'

Regards
