TRIBUTE TO A WORLD CLASS POET FROST

Submitted by lovedly on Tue, 2022-06-14 18:04

Do read ROBERT FROST
''ROAD NOT TAKEN''

you have said
what he did but ...
differently ....

We all fly
but unlike birds
we go about on broken roads ....
they then in open wilderness ..
have more alternatives ...
we have taken just one.

Be a fish
you could keep changing ...
which pool ...
which river ...
where's the sea ...
and
could you be in the ocean
you may better be...
where ever you may
a butterfly free and happy

line #7 they the the open wilderness .. (remove one of the's)

I love these lines:

could you be in the ocean
you may better be...
where ever you may be
a butterfly free and happy

seems to be the theme lately. I hope that I can come back as a dog! I would know enough to run away from a bad master and be loyal and true to a good one. I do believe that if there is anything to reincarnating, that a dog would be the next to best level. Angels in disguise! I think butterflies are the ultimate level. The reason that they fly so erratically, is that they just are so free and have nothing to do, but grace our lives with their beauty. Nice job, lovedly. ~ Geez.

might do. Who knows? If I come back, it might be as a worm or something that people want to avoid, like a snake or a spider. Not saying that I do believe in reincarnation, just that it is a facinating subject and one worth thinking about. ~ Geez.

every about 300 years says my Research
the relative positions are more or less common
but virus come to disturb
yet folks are given birth

Medical science has advanced muchly
and so u may believe suchly

RE INCARNATIONS
of similar human do/can happen

but the last guy had a cycle
this fella may a missile
the next incarnation

may have a newer jet propulsion
but poets like us
will still be born
some STILL
LOL.
