The Road Taken

THE ROAD TAKEN I meant to leave the broad pavement, the dandelion meadows. Spring tide ebbs, petals fall, winter returns, I must go quick and straight: Narrow, rutted is my path, but summer’s gate - always open. ………………………………………… Written by Sydney Peck For the SWEET SIJO contest of Adeleke Adeite
