Move On, Move On Oh, you tiresome earthen road, this weary traveler faithfully has walked your hilly, rocky path absorbed in its great mystery. I've traveled far and traveled wide; tired, I pause beside your stream. Its peaceful quiet soothes my soul to long for sleep in endless dream. The fire's made, the chores are done. Why must I ever move along? Just let me lay upon your bank and hear your carefree, rippling song. But, I must move on—on and on, make haste while there is sun and light. More roads to walk and hills to climb before the dark and cold of night. Sandra M.

Indeed this poem emulates the style of R. F. As I was reading, it totally reminded me of 'Stopping by woods'.

Beautiful, Sandra. I was thinking'of doing Frost, or E. E. Cummings -- but, of course, I had to be different and choose Poe from the year 2848! Congrats on a fine, frosty win. :-)

Congratulations on a win in this very challenging contest. I had chosen Robert Frost's "Out Out" but it didn't capture the poets's form as well.
