The Road Mistaken

[LukkyKnight]

TWO souls crossed my path, I was in a mood,
And sorry I could not woo them both
And be one gentleman, long I stood
And watched first one as far as I could
To where she turned in the undergrowth;

Then watched the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Her glance transfixed me in the evening air;
Though as for that the gray tinged hair
Said life had touched them about the same,

And both that evening, oddly fey,
Exhibited nary an obvious lack.
So, I left the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if she should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two women diverged that night, and I--
I chose just one, she'd met my eye,
And that has made all the difference.

In comparison to your reply, I suppose it is. However, I had the urge.

I'm not much of a poetry guy...but sarcastic and hurtful jabs just sorta make sense to me ya know?

Nope, couldn't say I knew that, Shaq. Hard to know much at all about you with so few posts to your credit. But as you have no clue regarding the context that led to me borrowing Frost's work I can see why you'd limit yourself to less than a sentence in your reply.

Welcome to literotica, eh?

I'm a man of few words my friend....and few friends...

Good poem, Sir KnighT

She'll love it.

~LOL~

Dunno, Jimi, but it was a diverting exercise all the same. I fear Frost may have rolled in his grave...
