The Road Left Alone



Two roads diverged in a deep wood,
And I am sorry could not travel both.
I stood under the lush green trees,
Hoping the answer was with the breeze.
For I had to choose, and take an oath.

Then I took the road travelled much,
That Man had through years explored.
But I realized that my vision was clouded,
For the road was worn, and very crowded.
The grass was cut, and left no reward.

I remember the moment when I chose,
The road that I thought Men suggest.
I said I would come back for the other,
But first take the one, all reckoned.
I took the road, and found unrest.

Oh, I moan today, as I sadly speak,
Long ago, when wisdom was not born.
Two roads diverged in a deep wood,
I took the road that was more worn,
And that took my life away from me.

    Outstanding

    This is a wonderful continuation of my piece and you left it where we could take it further too. I'm really glad you chose this poem as it has become one of my favorites and I'm so glad that you entered the contest. Great job and good luck.

    Dear udit,
    It is a very nice poem. Your poetry is very mature. I liked the flow too, is this any particular form?
    The theme is good. my fav is the last stanza.
    keep writing.
