I'll be happy to have you share any impressions you have of this one after you've done those further readings. deLighting that you've shared so far, Daniel 8)

	The Error Road Taken I took a single road that split in two directions; all at once I found myself where now I sit with torn hamstrings and a dunce hat sitting atop my head. © D. Allen Jenkins Treading lightly, Doug

	Erode... Naught Taken I have walked two roads as I’ve scribbled verse; they converge as one in yon yellowed wood. If I’d chosen the other, would I be the worse? Have I looked down the one as far as I could? I’d spent precious time in the undergrowth of the wanderlust path, and I got nowhere, so I reasoned I’d rhyme, taking something of both to discover perchance what each sought to share. Some traveler friends bid farewell as I strode, but cautiously, marching a shadowy path to somewhere or other past empty abodes — encountered cold shoulders… occasional wrath. passers-by poked fun throughout a fallen winter; still life sprang anew two trails diverged from woods in pungent yellow streams; so I set a new course through trees relieved © MLee Dickens’son 09 Feb 2006 a musing from Robert Frost's The Road Not Taken
