This week’s photo prompt is provided by Louise with The Storyteller’s Abode. Thank you Louise
The prompt reminded me of Robert Frost’s poem, The Road not Taken. I wrote in free verse, loosely using the idea. At the end of the first four lines is his title.
When given choices, there is the
tendency to go for the straight road,
but the easy way more often than not
appeals to the mistaken
idea that life should always be easy.
What a difference
would be made
were we to choose the less trodden
(unhindered by desire to tread the wide road
where others beckon us on)
but make our own way
and end life’s journey
without regret.

The road less traveled is always a good question to ponder and you’ve done it well today….enjoyed your take very much…
Thanks, and I like your comment.
I guess either way is not always the best, but it’s good to do what you think is right even if it’s hard. Easier said than doen though. 🙂 A great ponder on the directions we take in life
While the easy way looks promising, it can result in disappointment. Thanks for reading.
My pleasure 🙂
Just beautiful! Such a lovely poem with a great deal of wisdom.
