TRIBUTE TO ONE OF MY FAVORITE POETS

Today, instead of my own writing and stupidity, I thought

I would post one of my favorite poems by someone a bit more

famous. This is the very first poem that I memorized when

I first started doing some of my own writing. How was I to

know how true to my life this great work of art would turn

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.
