 Today's post is a little different than my usual writing. I wanted to share one of my favorite pieces. The Road Not Taken - Robert Frost.   In every situation , I always seem to think about all the different roads that it could lead to. Usually people call this over thinking. But as a writer I call it exploring many options in my head. This also helps me with be able to brainstorm several possible writing ideas. 

I hope you enjoy this as much as I do!

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.
