Poem by Robert Frost

After Apple Picking one late fall day as the gold sun hung low neath autumn's sky, I took a turn, became ‘The Runaway’ onto The Road Not Taken, there nearby. Lined thick with Birches planted on a knoll along with Maples dressed in red-gold glows, I now was drawn to take A Late Walk stroll- bask in the luxury of nature’s shows. Reminded to Choose Something Like a Star, I made a wish as I went on my way. As Venus blinked her answer from afar, I turned to leave since Nothing Gold Can Stay.
