Poem in Your Pocket Day

Today is Poem in Your Pocket Day!  I can't wait to share one of my favorite Poems with my friends.  Here's my poem that I'd like to share with you.  It's a classic:

The Road Not Taken

By Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

Yesterday on the way into work I enjoyed a news story about Poem in Your Pocket Day.  I wanted to share it with you.
