The poem describes the difficult roads and challenges the speaker has faced in life, including screaming sounds, losing confidence, and encountering fraud and phonies. Though the roads were difficult and fuzzy, with bumps along the way, the last two lines provide hope, encouraging the reader to strive for a good future and have support to pick them up when they fall down. The analysis notes the free verse structure, imagery of indecisiveness and a foggy road, a shifting tone from fear to cheer, and use of anaphoric repetition. The theme is about facing problems in real life but maintaining a positive outlook to eventually solve issues with hard work and good friends.
The paper is about Cyrano de Bergerac play by Edmond Rostand in 1897 and later released in a film based on a romantic soldier who romances his cousin, Roxane, by proxy
I couldn't find anything that matched Billy Collins' lovely poem "Introduction to Poetry" with the images he was talking about. so I made this very modest powerpoint. Enjoy!!

My poem
Crossed the difficult road by Put
In mylife I have walked passmanydifficultroads
The road that has the soundof screaming,
The road that has the sound of losing.
Phoningtomany people foradvice
But meetingalotof phonies
Losingthe confidence infrontof the class
Cos manypeople usedaloophole tocheat
In the secretwaysto make them - rapidlygrow
The worldhas a bunch of fake and fraud
You need tostrive far foryour future
You drive yourcoldcar on the fuzzy road,bumpy.
Havingsomeone care to cheeryouwhenyou fall down
To fightfor a good future,sign.
