Q & A
Will a road less traveled lead to a land lesser known?
Or will it be discovered as a path to Paris or Rome?
Will a grassy knoll be a knoll less blown?
Or will it too have scars of erosion shown?
Will a horse less ridden want to be left alone?
Or would the horse prefer it's splendor be shown?
Will a candle stay lit beside a walls airy slit?
Or will the candle lose grip of it's coveted wick?
Will a falling tree be heard within a forest thick?
Or will it's collapse be as any other falling stick?
Will a ship get lost in a seas' waves angry and slick?
Or will the sea show mercy with it's vanishing trick?
So many questions upon which one could delve,
Answers as diverse as the questions themselves.

P.S. You didn't fail, you tried, that is a pass in my book....
You've done a first rate job there. In particular I like the way you are quite prepared to edit the poem after you've posted.
What I find is that even reading a poem through a couple of times before posting - you can still fail to spot an obvious error or typo.
I like the way how this site they let you edit the poem after posting. It's weird how often you spot an error AFTER hitting the send button.
Kind regards
Bill
Q: Will a road less traveled lead to a land lesser known? & A: The road less travelled will lead to a land that will remain lesser known by the many but become better known by the few. Or will it be discovered as a path to Paris or Rome? What a fascinating possibility to ponder! Answers as diverse as the questions themselves. Indeed!
