i recently graduated from high school and was voted to give the commencement speech at that time. as part of my speech i read "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost. in your poem i found such an awesome similarity i was chilled. it brought to mind such a profound longing to back to high school and everything that i had known while at the same time giving me comfort in the solitude i am now faced with and courage to brave even the strongest storm. i wish i could have read your poem sooner as i would have loved to use it in my commencement speech (giving credit to you, of course. ) poems like these reaffirm my thought that no matter how far away i am from "home", it will always be in my mind and heart for home truly is where the heart is.

hello being new here i can only share my reactions with you. as i began reading your poem, in the rhythm of it, i immediately felt as if i was travelling, moving along. the steps progress, choice after choice, there are open spaces and closed ones. i may not know the scenary, but i know the journey.

I thought the poem very fitting.Especially since my name is Winters. We had a house fire 2 days before x-mas. Never knowing what road life will see us on,bein with the ones we love and family is truly where we feel at home.

The first few lines reminded me of Frost's 'Road not taken' however it is not an Unoriginal poem. I quite liked the Structure, a little bit a varaince it refreshing :).

I just wanted to write a quick note and tell you that I thought your poem was wonderful. I live in good-ole snowy MI and I know what it is like to feel trapped by all that cold winter wind and snow. No apologies necessary to Robert Frost, for you did a very creative and heartfelt job and that is all that matters. Ranea (a former Navy Wife of a Desert Storm Veteran)
