Let’s appreciate the poem—The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I — I took the one less travelled by. And that has made all the difference.
— Robert Frost
One less travelled: he made a choice that was perhaps not what most people would, but he thought it was a good decision.
Pre-reading
1.What is a poem?
A poem is a piece of writing in which the words are arranged in separate lines, often ending in rhyme, and are chosen for their sound and for the images and ideas they suggest.
2. Why do you think people write poems?
• to encourage people
• to tell a story
• to express feelings
• to recall an enjoyable or unpleasant incident
• to play with words
• to create images for the readers
• to express a point of view
• to make another laugh
• to create a mood
I think people write poetry to express deep thoughts and emotions in a concise (简明的) way that can be more directly communicated with another person, the reader.

举头望明月,低头思故乡。
I look for her in vain.
When all at once I turn my head,
I find her there where lantern light is dimly shed.

This morn of spring in bed I’m lying,
Not wake up till I hear birds crying.
After one night of wind and showers,
How many are the fallen flowers!
春晓
—孟浩然
春眠不觉晓,处处闻啼鸟。
夜来风雨声,花落知多少。
Very quietly I take my leave
As quietly as I came here;
Quietly I wave good-bye
To the rosy clouds in the western sky.
再别康桥
轻轻的我走了,
正如我轻轻的来;
我轻轻的招手,
作别西天的云彩。
