Hello. I am not a poet. I am only a composer. Ya know, I compose orchestra pieces for fun. But I think I'd like to try poetry. So I'm gonna put some that I wrote. Feel free to give me feedback, positive or negative.
Poem #1: Road Less Traveled. By: _Salix_
I walk into the woods
Small knife in one hand
Flashlight in the other
Surrounded by trees
Every color, every size
I come across, on my journey
A fork in the road
Three paths; which way to go?
They always tell me
"Take the road less traveled"
One path is dark
The path was red, at one point
It is so trampled
You could hardly tell
Not that one
Another path is light
It used to be covered in flowers
They're all wilted; the bushes dead
As if someone had stepped on them
Not that one
The final path is average
The path never had color
But it seems to be covered
With foot and hoof prints
Not that one
There are no more paths
All are traveled the same
Where to go?
Not one of these roads
Is less traveled
I think and think
'Till my head aches
Which is the least traveled?
When suddenly
It dawns on me
I choose the dark path
Not because
It is less traveled
But because
It's where I want to go
END
Who loves it? You do! You loooooooooooove my little poem! I'm pretty proud of it. It's my first. I wrote it because I'm kinda sick of the hundreds of poems telling me to take the road less traveled. Don't get me wrong, they're great. I love 'em. Great message. But everybody is taking the road less traveled now. So there...isn't one. They're all kinda traveled the same amount.
