A Letter To Robert Frost

A letter To Robert Frost
Dear Mr. Frost or Bob, as the occasion might be lent
We are happy to report a world still turning wild
There are still two roads divergent in the woods
Prevailing, waiting for others to decide 
You took the one less traveled
To make a difference as you could
We continue to abide convergent roads
Comply with natures inclinations as our maze
Pulled in some direction not always ours
As for that world that did not die
It did not perish in fire or by ice
As you postulated quite nicely 
Both would have equally sufficed
We are in a different place and time
Protecting ages and ages hence in your defense
We will never meet again in fire or in ice my friend

                                                                 6/06/14 Contest:  Letters To Poets

Thank you for entering my contest. Frost inspired many poets. This is a perfect little gem of a poem. I love the conversational tone. Wouldn't it be wonderful if he could reply with his impressions of us now?

Good morning Andrea, I deeply appreciate your kind comments. It is hard to find the words to honor the true masters such as Frost so I treated the tribute with TLC. Thanks again and have a great day. Earl
