John Lawless Poet Verse

Frost's Forever Joke

Have you not felt that subtly zany urge
That blinding flash of wonder’s pulsing surge
Rippling across your tingling hairs
that silent shout “go on, nobody cares”

Then leapt across the chasm of your doubt
Strayed off your path to seek another route
Challenging Frost’s inane “Road not Taken”
Sat alone and chewed on day old bacon.

To questions, this bane of misdirection,
A future’s upcoming intersection
No road signs just the two divergent paths
Bordered by two wanderers taking baths.

Therefore, I wait for towel and soft soap
And soak myself in Frost’s forever joke.

Paul Willason July 21, 2023 at 9:13 PM Clever....very insightful take on that master of many meanings, Mr Frost. As always John, I sit back and enjoy your skill... some brilliant lines, none better than " leapt across the chasm of your doubt".
