The Way Through
the way through
contains its own detours
each a perilous diversion
imbued with false light.
paths fettered
with pebbles
sink into the small of my foot
as I step carefully
through the burdens of each,
balancing the caption
above my head
the one
made famous
by some erstwhile poet
who trod these paths long before me
the path least known,
least trod upon
makes all the difference

Another fantastic poem from my favorite poet.
Happy Easter Audrey 1. ~ Audrey 2.
Love your perspective of the road less traveled!
Enjoyed your contribution to poetry month. Your interpretation and deep meaning of those words of the road less traveled impressed me. Thanks for sharing this poem. Blessings. Audrey
Audrey, What a lovely tribute to the great Robert Frost, and a wonderful contribution for poetry month.
Oh Audrey. I love this, as I'm sure everyone who appreciates good poetry would. Voted up.
"False light" and "the small of my foot" re the kind of phrases I admire, but could never create. Your last verse give me something to think about. Thank you.

"The way through" has not just diversions but also distractions, attractions and reservations. The best is to carve a path for ourselves following closely that which was left by our forerunners. A very revealing poem.
