I am trying to find 3 poetic devices in the poem "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost.

I think "to Where it bent in the undergrowth" is personification

I think "Somewhere ages and ages hence" is figurative language

and "then took the other, as just as fair" is a simile
Am I correct???
Thank you!!

What is "it"?

Figurative language is a category in which many literary elements fit. Which literary element do you think this is?

Sorry, no.

Please go through all the different literary elements in the linked webpage above. Explore many. Then reread the poem with these in mind.
