The Road Not Taken

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;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I marked the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
Robert Frost


From as early as I can remember I've had a love for poetry.  My shelves were lined with the likes of Walt Whitman and Edgar Allen Poe.  There are numerous poems I can call my favorite on any given day... from little lymerics, ballads, and ode's  but, Robert Frost's, The Road Not Taken is the one my heart can relate too... at least today.

  1. I'm thinking that's why you liked Danny Elfman and Souxie so much when we were young. They are are of similar souls. xoxox

  2. Thanks Lisa! You have such a good memory! I think that's why I always like you too. Thanks for checking out the blog! I'm really trying to get my name out there so when the time comes my Writers Bio doesn't look so pathetic!
