Best Travelled Poems

THE PATH WELL TRAVELLED.

Two paths diverged, and I was thrown by doubts I had never known
To my left, thickly overgrown, was a path to dismal dimness prone.

To my right, a lovely sight-fragrant flora flamed in light
Forms so graceful, beauty rare, a...

It's conventional thinking unravelled,
Waiting on the horns of a dilemma
With brand new ideas : the road less travelled,
Takes me back to sixty-five – the summer.
	Exams completed, leaving school behind,
I took a different route from friends and peers.
Engineering was what I had in mind
Instead of academic...

Sitting idle on a cooler afternoon
A window seat’d forest view
Spotted sunlight through the changing leaves
Entranced me, a waking vision’s swoon,

My life, time lapsed, on the dirty glaze,
Was a B-movie, rated yawn,
Just an endless melted reel,
Wasted moments, missing days,

Flying by, a startled dove,
Risen from a hawkers...

Many moons and many seasons have passed
since you journeyed faraway to alien shores without a word from you, 
save a portrait of yourself clad in fine linen.

Every night, I see you in my dreams in scarlet silk standing by the beach,
waiting for that  bespectacled Snowman.

When given the choice of what road to take,
Sometimes I choose right; sometimes I mistake,
But I go forth with a smile and a laugh
On my journey down the less beaten path.

That road travelled by many before
Is the passage I most likely ignore.
I journey ahead with...

They travelled from near and far
To stand beneath the shining star.
The light of a hundred suns
Greets the child,the only one.
For three wise men,a sacred guide,
For simple sheperds,a sacred guide.
Seemed like a dream to them,
A baby bron in Bethlehem,
As in a stable in humble hands,
Lies a...

The Road Most Travelled

Like a nerve trapped in a shoulder
or a bird stuck in a cage,
Or a fly caught in a web
Oh my soul, it dreams of  escape.
Somewhere beyond my inner walls
Beyond the lies and hate
Take me to my inner peace
Take, take me through...

The least travelled road 

I have travelled many a lone and winding road,
upon which I have carried many a burdensome load.
You have made conscious of – the life I did live
and made me realize, the strife in me, you give
life to, and I suffer through,...

A wave of depression hit me down in Hope Street.
Hair stood up on end, on a shortcut down Barber's Lane.
Got a no-go from a cash machine, brooding in Bank Street.
Bought some pharmaceuticals, trippin' down the High Street.
Caught a nasty virus, browsing down Microsoft Way.

People mean...

From Pop Idol to American Idol, the Journey Across the Pond was Worth the Trip.


From the X Factor, Britain’s Got Talent to AGT, the Road has been long and Ever Winding.



Though while walking the streets of Lambeth, and playing in the school yard in Elstree...

Thoughts can keep you down
Pushing you deeper into despair
Thoughts can keep you focused
Allowing you to hold onto your dream

Believe and you can receive
Achieve and grow
While you show the power of your thinking
Remain humble and
If you do stumble 
Don’t forget to get up again!
Circumstances will often...

Once there was an adventurous Pixie,
Who lived in deep south Dixie.
He wasn't black,
So he had to go back
Now he's a travelling Gypsy....

“Two roads diverged in a yellow wood….”

Robert,
You let the split remain unresolved,
and while we stand in awe,
staring at your crossroads
etched in gold and shadow,
do you ever wonder
what lay beyond the path
you did not take?
Even though you say,
“I took the one less travelled by,
And that has...
