In the ever famous 'The road not taken' by Robert Frost, the opening line, "two roads diverged in a YELLOW wood" (yellow wood = fall) is used in relation to theme of change. Just as the leaves are changing from green to yellow, the man in the poem picks a path and his life is changed. The whole poem really is about change and the recognition of change.
