Arguing with Robert Frost. Did I win?

Question

The less travelled road

made all the difference.

Each path we choose

(or is chosen for us)

could lead onward to joy

or to sorrow, because

we have no way of knowing.

We can only guess

when on this path we tread

whether ultimately we'll lie

in a smooth

or a crumpled bed.

This rests in the hands of fate.

Once that bed is made

we must lie in it and wait

to see what each morning brings.

Grey Autumn days or

Fresh crocus' Springs.

But, I ask -

why no retracing steps?

We can grasp fate by the throat

Say 'I'm in command'

And

rise from our bed

return to the fork in the road.

Take the well travelled path

And see where that leads...

instead.

Answer 1

As usual, your are a winner with this exceptional poem. In addition to the poem itself (for which I have no suggested changes), the message is universal and important.

Answer 2

No, you misspelled gray!  Go to the back of the class!  (Yes the poem was good, now stop your whining!  lol)
