The long and winding path.

The long and winding path.

There were many roads

to choose from

on one's travels,

the high road,

the low road,

the back road,

but I wanted

something different.

so I took the path;

never looked back.

Well done. You never hear of roads taking you to the princesses castle. She's always up a path somewhere.

belated thanks Paul

and found it didn't wind as much as i thought it would...

the harder paths get easier at times...when we least expect it...i really like this Frost-ian flavored piece.

The contrast between the LONG path and the short poem is very effective. Should you not have put 'winding' in the second to last line? Good poem.

[andrew mitchell]

i don't know if i should i thought winding disrupted the flow or brevity so i just had winding in the title. what do you think?

[Great Aunt Astri]

In your poem each line has a different number of syllables so a line about the long and winding path with many syllables might make an impact. But I think it is fine as it is.

[Kelly Scheppers]

I was anticipating you to say...so I took the path
less traveled.

Always good to see you, Andrew!

[andrew mitchell]

You too Kelly, nice to see you, but I'm always around stirring the pot sending readers in the opposite directions. Its nice to have a friend visit. I just can't do mainstream poems so I'm looking to go beyond and more likely by myself. Cheers Kelly, you write so well!!:)
