Riding cold steel into the morning mist revealed a road with a special twist. A fork beckoned me to make a choice; which one appealed to my inner voice? The high road made a pretty sight, with plenty of twists-both lefts and rights. Worn smooth and sure from many a ride: choose well traveled? I must decide! The other road was dappled o'er with a carpet of leaves from the entwining branches of the sentinal trees. Where it led I could not tell; I prayed for heaven and screamed for hell. A twist of the throttle and my choice was made, my hand was shown, my cards were played. The road less traveled-don't lose control. Ride slow and easy that's how I roll...

"The Road Less Traveled"
Riding cold steel into the morning mist revealed a road with a special twist. A fork beckoned me to make a choice; which one appealed to my inner voice? The high road made a pretty sight, with plenty of twists-both lefts and rights. Worn smooth and sure from many a ride: choose well traveled? I must decide! The other road was dappled o'er with a carpet of leaves from the entwining branches of the sentinal trees. Where it led I could not tell; I prayed for heaven and screamed for hell. A twist of the throttle and my choice was made, my hand was shown, my cards were played. The road less traveled-don't lose control. Ride slow and easy that's how I roll...
Very nice sentiments. An "old school" biker always said to me if given a choice, take the high road, and do the right thing. It may not be easy, but you feel better afterward. I though of that when I read your poem. I'd say the high road probably is the road less traveled, but wouldn't it be nice if it weren't.
Have a great day.

Yes, I did intentionally shoot for a twist on Robert Frost's poem-daring of me eh? I really didn't think anyone would catch me at it. That is also one of my favorite poems, although I would much rather write than to read poetry-it's my therapy...
