Inspired by Robert Frost's poem




Those Sweet Smiles......


Taking a break to hail Yvonne's B'Day



Would like to capture every smile





Inspired by Robert Frost’s THE ROAD NOT 

TAKEN



I stuck close to my shadow.

We gave each other a smile of assurance

and headed into the woods.


Dark it was ,

with the crescent moon occasionally

peeked through the thin cloud,

leaving a silvery trail at my feet.


The only sound was the song of the cricket

and my inaudible footsteps.

Then I came to where the road diverged.


Standing long between the two paths, I looked 

down

As far as I could.

One left a clear trotted mark,

The other bent nowhere

Far in the undergrowth.

I stood a moment longer.

Which should I take?



If you know Robert Frost’s The Road Not Taken

you’ll know the answer.



What recalled me to Robert’s poem is the recent 

preparation for TOP Exhibition. There are quite a 

lot of things that TOP members have to 

overcome: the practice, which writing form to do, the model script, the framing….


Most of us never did it before. There’re quite a lot 

of not knowing, undeciding, not sure if it’s 

okay…. But with the determination one felt 

among TOP artists during last Wednesday class 

time, I know that you can climb any mountain 

and cross any sea.




This is the closing verses of Frost’s original poem:


Two roads diverged in a wood, and I---

I took the one less travelled by,


And that has made all the difference.



Good luck and blessed are those who dare take 

 challenges!




Nothing could beat your determination



Deep in thoughts 

Need making up your mind




Wish the B'Day Girl and good year ahead
