DECISIONS, DECISIONS

While I was looking for a picture to place with this poem I came across the most incredible artwork. The artist's name is Glenda Santiago and her website is www.glendasantiago.com. This amazing painting shares it's name with Robert Frost's The Road Not Taken. In all her paintings, her colors are vibrant and her arrangements fairly quiver with life. Can you tell I like her?

The Road not Taken

- Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
