The Road Not Taken

I came to know from my blogging buddy Joji that February 2nd is the Fourth Annual Bloggers Silent Poetry Reading Day. You can post your favorite poetry (created by you or by others). I know this is late, but still. I'd like to share one of my favorite poems - The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost. By the way, the beautiful image above, as I was graciously informed by the photographer and owner of it, is actually a path on Bruce Springsteen's property.

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;

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 kept 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.
