Fall favorite #3
This is Robert Frost's summer home in Ripton, Vermont (I took this photo about 5 years ago). As in Robert Frost of "The Road Not Taken".
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.

A great one for sure... I also like the one about the easy wind and downy flake.
Yes, I know a few poems... (not just limericks either)
I like the poem! but I LOVE the picture.
You sure are an artist with your camera.
I like the fact that you took a chance on that road to Boston years ago...
what a difference a change in direction can make!
Lovely photo.
