Boogie Nights you are darn stiff competition! Frost, of course is an awesome poet to enrobe your thoughts around, which you did quite well. Good luck!

What the heck? I enjoyed yours more than the Frost poem??? Does that mean you are a true poet? You MAY have improved if you had used the same rhyming pattern as Frost did: (A-B-A-A-B). It would have been easier to compare. But yours is great.

BN,

You truly followed the contest instructions by writing a very poetic response to Mr. Frost. I think that particular poem resonates with many, particularly young people who must choose to do what has been planned for them or follow their less secure bliss. I think Frost in reveling in having made the right choice in pursuing his poetry. My husband was fortunate enough to have Frost read his poetry to one of his English classes. Well done and good luck.

An interesting response to Robert Frost's famous poems. You basically assert that it does no good to ponder both roads because it's the choices we make along either road that make the difference. Plus, a choice is not irrreversible. Good entry for the contest.

This work has reached the exceptional level

Awesome job! I could almost see and feel you sitting across from Robert Frost, with a smile on your face and with gentle heart, prompting him to consider a different way to look at the situation of the two paths.

Love the last two stanzas. You've created a winner.
