Notes About The Poem

9/4/2025

Here's a second fun Marathon poem inspired by Robert Frost (1874-1963) and his famous poem, “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening.” I originally published this in my 'Mile 11 Closed and Being Judged' blog post on 8/28/2025.

Each of my Marathon tribute poems is a transformative homage to a literary classic — much like a parody or pastiche. I always credit the original poet and work, and the new poem stands as a creative reinterpretation with its own theme, imagery, and tone.

I have included my Marathon-themed poetry in my Poetry Marathon blog posts since 2019, usually at the end of the blog posts, but I never posted them to my poetry page. So now I'm taking the time to post them to my poetry page.

Fun Marathon Poetry Inspired by Robert Frost -2

The course is lovely, hills are steep
But I need a steady pace to keep
And miles to go–I must dig deep
And miles to go–I must dig deep
