Different lines have different numbers of syllables, but there is not a large difference between them.
<<Two roads di-verged in a yel-low wood,
And sor-ry I could not tra-vel both>>
(There are 9 syllables in those two lines)
<<In leaves no step had trod-den black>
That one has eight syllables
If you post aqain here, please do it once only per question, and do NOT use all capital letters. It is considered rude by most teachers. Also, learn to spell "poetry".
We could not answer your question until you told us the name of the poem. There is much varation of structure from one poem to another. Some have no structure at all.
Thank You for not telling the answers
rushil, a syllable is the number of parts a word is broken into. "word" is a one syllable word. "broken" is a two syllable word- bro-ken. Rushil is also two syllable. Ru-shil. Computer is three syllable, com-pute-r. Tap out the syllable as you read the lines in the poem. this will give you the answer you want. Hint- each line has the same number of syllables.
Harold and DrWLS are right.
If you need further help understanding how to determine the syllables in a word and then in a line of poetry, here are some good webpages that will help:

The number of syllables in each line of poetry and the order in which they are arranged are shown here.
Remember -- reading poetry aloud and tapping your fingers or toes to the beat will help you figure this out.
To determine the number of syllables in each line of the poem "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost, you can follow these steps:
1. Read the poem: "Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, / And sorry I could not travel both / And be one traveler, long I stood / And looked down one as far as I could / To where it bent in the undergrowth"
2. Identify each line of the poem: The poem is composed of five lines.
3. Count the syllables in each line: To count the number of syllables in each line, you can divide the lines into individual words and determine the number of syllables in each word. A syllable is a unit of pronunciation containing one vowel sound.
Line 1: "Two roads di-verged in a yel-low wood" - 9 syllables
Line 2: "And sor-ry I could not trav-el both" - 8 syllables
Line 3: "And be one trav-el-er, long I stood" - 9 syllables
Line 4: "And looked down one as far as I could" - 9 syllables
Line 5: "To where it bent in the un-der-growth" - 10 syllables
Therefore, there are 9 syllables in lines 1, 3, and 4, 8 syllables in line 2, and 10 syllables in line 5.
