Brain In Head Feet In Shoes-W

The way less traveled I would like to choose
The beaten path offers no challenges indeed
Steer my way with brain in head, feet in shoes

There are no self- help manuals, no formulas
The right for one may be another’s wrong road
The way less traveled I would like to choose

There are no easy answers, and no road signs
It is a rocky path going through raveled end
Steer my way with brain in head, feet in shoes

There is a winding road that never ends
Full of curves lessons learnt at every end
The way less traveled I would like to choose

Maybe on one will look at my life’s success
I know may be the weeds grow up behind
Steer my way with brain in head, feet in shoes

On beaten way the individuality one may lose
I believe I am doing something worthy deed
The way less traveled I would like to choose
Steer my way with brain in head, feet in shoes

Excellent use of the villanelle form to describe the courage it takes to pursue life on a road less traveled. Best wishes for success in the contest, Dr. Ram. Love, Carolyn
