The Road Less Traveled
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.
Hmm.. I feel these days that I took a U turn and headed right back to the well trodden path. Maybe there is still time to turn back. Or maybe not. Only time will tell.

I love that pome.
I plan to post a few pomes I like on my blog soon.
Why did you turn back?
Well, let's just say that I did not quite realize I made the turn. I don't even know if I did for that matter, but it looks awfully crowded where I am heading.. and I'm consciously looking for U-turn signs..
A drink anyone?
The U-turn will come. So will the drink.
