When the sky had fallen
And the Earth sang out loud with cries,
An angel talked to me.
I can give you victory and triumph;
You’ll never have to worry.
Paradise is what your life will be,
But you’ll be stuck with a white piece of paper all your
life
I looked up.

When the skies were green
And the grass was blue,
The ferocious beast came to me.
Come with me creature of the East;
I’ll teach you what life is about.
We crossed a path full of snakes
And a river of blood.
Your prize you’ll get after the challenge has been made
An apple

Oh my dear,
Don’t let them lead me
To the ocean of fear.

© Weike W., Rochester Hills, MI

The author's comments:
This poem was inspired by Robert Frost's, "The Road Not Taken." It is about making decisions which are both good and bad. I hope that everyone can learn that it doesn't matter what you pick as long as you are not attracted by fear.

this is really good, i think the formatting could use some improvement and the wording could be a little stronger but you have a wonderful, crisp idea and a very siple but compelling flow. keep it up, id like to see more.

This is a beautiful peace of work, and I love it! It is simple yet complex, and deep at the same time.

What a descriptive piece of poetry with quite vivid images. I think Robert Frost would be very proud, Francheska!
