Prompt #106, It’s Post Your Poems Day!
Forks in the road
a community poem prompt
We Write Poems:
As Donald reflected upon Robert Frost’s “The Road Not Taken”, he asked us to write a poem about what roads have affected our lives. He asked up to respond to the roads we’ve taken – or not taken, and how that has made an impact in our lives. Write about one or the other, or both, as you see fit to do. An interesting “next” after having asked you to remember first remembersings. Now we await your response!
Thank you again to Donald Harbour for suggesting this prompt.
Don’t have a poem yet? Perhaps read a few done by others here, be inspired. There’s still plenty of time to discover a poem for yourself!
Leave the links to your poems in the comments of this post, then go visit your fellow writers’ sites and read their work. Remember to leave only positive comments in the spirit of sharing and not critiquing. We look forward to reading your poems!
Please remember to include a link with your blog poem post that links right back to here, this “Post Your Poems Day”, so that others reading your poem can also share in this community poem experience – maybe even someone new to We Write Poems!
If you are new to WWP, please be welcome to look around and read. The full prompt description you can find under “Recent Posts” on the top right of our page.

This has been lurking on my toolbar all week. I’m not awfully happy with it, but so be it: http://vivinfrance.wordpress.com/2012/05/22/roads-not-travelled-for-wwp/

No doubt there “road” to emotional perfection is raif with detours and is constantly “under-construction”. Or so it seem. Always unconditional, but imperfect.

So many choices…this is the road that I chose. Smiles to everyone!

Hope you guys found inspiration in the prompt. I will enjoy reading your responses. Thanks to Neil for using the suggestion. I am entertaining future in-laws this week and have not had much time to put thoughts on paper. However, I did ponder the meaning of Life’s roads.
Not so good as it ought to be

My ‘road’ led me to Africa.
A road Down South
5th graders discovering our history
Why we are who we are
A Civil Rights tour
A living history
Not out of a textbook
Interviewing fathers
Big man crying
Met Love
Met teaching
Met my future
(The words written above aren’t published anywhere else. They describe my fork-in-the-road, when I accompanied a group of Rhode Island 5th graders on a Civil Rights tour of the south, met my future wife & realized I wanted be an experiential teacher of nonviolence.
