I like the idea of this poem and the way that you have expressed it. You have given a fresh face to the old cliché of the well-worn path. It takes effort to forge fresh paths, but can be a rewarding endeavour.

You have said a lot with only 30 syllables. Your rhyming is good and the artwork you chose is perfect for your message. I like the idea of forging a fresh path. We all get rather comfortable on smooth paths after a while. Your poem was a good reminder that comfortable isn't always best.

You have created some revelations here, maybe it is time for a change. or maybe we were on the wrong path all along. Your writing is thoughtful and descriptive, well done..

I like how you made this 30 syllables about second chances in life. It reminds me of how life should be by being nice to people. Thanks for sharing. A good write.

Oh, I just love this piece. It feels like I'm taken back to the masters when I read this. Very Robert Frost. It has a very heroic feel to it. It's wonderful. And 30 syllables! Quite a feat. Congratulations. Dorinda
