David Byrne Poet Free verse

From Robert Frost 'The Road Not Taken';Last Line Verse

Galloping horses shudder the ground as                .....Two
Horsemen  draw lashes, striking forth on               .....Roads
parallel. Dawn appears through trees and roads     .....Diverge 
one to the east, the other south. Horseman  one    .....In
earnest, upon a life depends, carries                     .....A
somber secret, written on                                     .....Yellow
parchment ; on it drawn a nail through hand and    .....Wood
