The Road Not Taken<\/em> is one of the most famous poems ever written. I want you to take that poem and write your own completely original work. The title can be the same but everything else should be different. You can choose to focus on updating the poem, or re-writing it using different words, or take the theme and explore it in a different way. Your poem could just focus on mimicking the tone. You can do anything that you want as long as it ties in with Frost\u2019s poem in some way.
\n—————————————————————————————————————–<\/p>\n

Three streets to choose from in lighthouse town,
\nAnd woe is me for time is too short
\nAnd as a wanderer, I went round
\nAnd walking on the path I soon found
\nWhere the skies kissed the mountains of North;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Knowing which way to go, it\u2019s quite the same
\nAnd what is thought to be right is right
\nBecause at pinnacle light soon came,
\nFrom places made from cosmic remains
\nWhere dark turned to light and light to night,<\/p>\n

And from every peak a worthy view
\nThat will be seen by new and old once there.
\nOh, I had the heart to go and do.
\nBut seeing the horizon I knew
\nMy choices are mine alone to bear.
\nI shall be sharing this without delay
\nNowhere eons and eons from here:
\nThree streets to choose from in town, but they,
\nThey didn\u2019t take any of them anyway,
\nAnd they never left that bottom tier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
