Life is about journeys, and so is this poem. I thought it would be particularly appropriate for my life and my blog.
The Road Not Taken, by Robert Frost
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; | 5 |
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, | 10 |
And both that morning equally lay | |
In leaves no step had trodden black. | |
Oh, I kept the first for another day! | |
Yet knowing how way leads on to way, | |
I doubted if I should ever come back. | 15 |
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. |
I love this poem. Poetry is such a wonderful way to speak & communicate.
ReplyDeleteDo you also write some of your own?
I agree!
DeleteIn the past I have written some poetry, but am not really fond of writing it myself. I prefer to write essays, and stories. I am quite in love with stories it seems; that's why I love opera, stories set to classical music!
