Robert Frost 1874 (San Francisco) – 1963 (Boston)

Two roads lie 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.

      Hi! As the new owners of Poetry.com, we acquired the domain name, but couldn't obtain the accounts, poetry or publications that were associated with the old Poetry.com website. We have created a system on the new site for users to locate and claim poems we have been fortunate enough to retrieve from internet records. Here's how to get the best chance of locating your work on our site, if we managed to save it: 1) Use our search box to look for your poetry, either by poet name or poem title. If you think you may have used a slightly different name please try searching using all variations. 2) You can also explore our poems by searching alphabetically by name of poem, or poet. 3) You can claim ownership for the work by clicking on the 'Claim this poet' link that appears on the unclaimed poet page. If your search fails to bring you results, we offer our sincerest sympathies. Our team has made a tireless effort over the last few months to recover as much as possible of the old content from internet archive records. We have managed to save some, but not all, of the lost material. Some material dates further than records go, other work remains inaccessible to us for reasons unknown. You can try yourself by going through pages on Archive.org at https://web.archive.org/web/*/poetry.com - it is a public service website, unrelated to us and you may just get lucky if you search around the dates you posted... To have a chance at finding a book your poem was published in, you can look at various online second hand booksellers such as amazon, ebay, or here: https://www.isbns.net/author/Editor_Howard_Ely The good news is, we as the new owners of Poetry.com, are 100% passionate about literature, the written word, and their preservation. It is our ongoing commitment to create the best infrastructure, tools & services for poets worldwide with the newly-launched Poetry.com. STANDS4 - the company that now stands behind Poetry.com has an excellent reputation and 20 years of experience providing quality platforms for its users to enjoy worldwide.

    I was redirected to this very box and told I could discuss everything about Poetry.com with the community. It's near silence standing alone in my vacant room. The creaks of the house tick and crack, snap and tap; and the sounds reverberate in a hollow not present when wall deco and furniture are present. My own breathing and the fan like hum of the refrigerator are apparent in between the verses of beam, board and nail stretching. I just took notice of my own awareness, and in being self-conscious these descriptions are at once a vulnerability inside the spot of lime light 'soliloquy'.. I should just leave it at.

      Thank you for asking that question. I read it when I came to this page, dropped the mic after I chimed in to the general public, and it called me back and came to me. What are the scratches on the surface of the scratches, the person who commented just before you made, into this idea they had not yet? Think about it and tell me how you would be thankful for an Idea you literally just said would not have happened "yet to scratch the surface of..." Advice in poetry is a double edged sword but if you hold it with both hands. Get a plain cheap notepad, date and time stamp the begginning and ends of each, worry not about titles, and fuck rules. Say what the hell you want! Dont write for anyone but you. Save it and in time when you return on occasion, the least you will do is learn something about yourself, the most potent key to maturation.

      "Scratches on scratches"; I like that, Reil. We all should create for and as ourselves. How can we do otherwise? Except maybe to write for others as in carrying the hope of sharing experience, meaning, emotion, effect, etc. You know what throws me? All the punctuation -- periods everywhere! I grew up reading album covers. I simply don't remember seeing so many periods...

      Its being sent thru the Universe that we were to have a conversation. I admit I was trying to find a way of contacting you when I received the notifications from Stands4/Poetry.com that you had liked my comments. I kept coming back to the 2 emails and following the link(s) trying to navigate my way to your page and the thread. I kept falling down rabbit holes and like 'Shutes and Ladders' was still in the game and on the familiar path; just somewhere else. Small talk really isn't my strong point. I'm hailing from Forest Grove, OR; about 25 minutes West of downtown Portland OR, where are you from? Before I go I don't want to leave you hanging, thank you for finding something enjoyable about the posts I left; although the notifications only mention you 'liked' it and so I don't know what part(s). Finally, I have to agree that punctuation in poetry is blurry and often too broad an application to pinpoint the pattern. I hated poetry in school but I've been writing it in the closet from the age of 16. It connected me to you when you mentioned album covers, I love lyrics and that is how I do my part.

      I'm quite certain that the contest is open only to those who submitted entries. Consider if this was not the case: an entrant could have friends 'storm the castle' and vote for that friend's entry. The ways one might game the system were indeed considered. I did enter and am so enjoying reading all the entries. Wow, is an understatement. My hope is that the entries are made available for all to see after January's contest has concluded.

    I believe that this website, years ago, had a contest in which a poet had to select 20 words from a selection the site posted to make a poem. You clicked and dragged the word to make the poem, enter it and wait to see if you won. The poem posted as close to the time the site selected was the winner. I think the contest was called Poetry in Motion. I loved that contest.

    Maybe for ideas on how to improve this website have a look at gedichten.nl. There the poems are divided in categories: 'poëzie' (poetry from historic authors), 'gedichten' (poems considered of poetic quality by the editors of the website), netgedichten (poems written and contributed by people with an account for the website) and 'hartenkreten' (poetic disclosures of emotions). Also this site has the category 'snelsonnet', used for comments on current affairs in a sonnet of six lines. The categories each have a Top-5 that shows the 5 with highest number of views and highest number of review stars per period.

    I wasn't aware that poetry.com had went by the way-side until I got an email invitation from this resurrected version. The classic poets are all good, and I'd be hard-pressed to list more than a very few as favorites. Among those would be Poe, Shakespeare, Browning, Dickens....I also admire the writing of Khalil Gibran.

      I'm not sure why, but some places for poetry don't want you to post your work. Perhaps they just want people to talk about poetry. I had joined the old poetry.com about 20 years ago and it was always post-friendly. I've only bothered to have one of mine published and it was in poetry.com's publication in print and poetry read aloud. You should have a good experience here.

    New here, recent events have urged me to share a poem that has many meanings to me. I wrote it some time ago, but a new development has added new meaning that parallels my current situation. I thought that made it interesting enough to share. There are several underlying themes, but mainly I'd say it's about existence and mortality, god and science. I know this is very well covered and commonly written about, but I feel what I wrote offers a simple metaphor but is multi layered and fresh.

    Hi I'm new here but not new to poetry, poetry platforms , both passive and interactive, being published and participating in over a hundred workshops. On that basis I do have some thoughts for what its worth in terms of your desire to create more dynamic engagement, relevance and expansion. I notice that with in a split second of posting a poem I have been favorited. I love attention but what does it mean if it is produced by a algorithm, and my fan is a cyborg? Do you think this site needs to create frequent and real interaction? Everyone wants attention, to be read and to be read by someone they respect and whos opinion strikes a chord and that they TRUST. One of the challenges of workshops is that there's lots of inexperienced writers critiquing each other. Its improbable that much is gained except frustration under those circumstances, although being favorited or kind comments by another is always encouraging. So the question remains how to create a structure to accomplish this if you want it? Nothing is easy, nothing is perfect. How does one hear criticism without feeling discouraged? Every light casts a shadow, yet with out dynamic interaction and those points of illumination there is only posting into a void and the emotional emptiness that comes with it. Perhaps these are something's you are already thinking about? Best Z

You can call it timeless because you are accustomed to time being synonymous with change. That timeless within you, that unchanging within you is aware of the innermost core of existence too, is aware that all change is superficial.

    Would i trade the words to stand alone, and be a poet whose words stand in stone Would i trade words to keep me in verse and rythme For all time Would i trade the words to flip sonnet and lyre on the toss of a dime Yes i would trade words for sure to make it certain my words endure Yes id trade words that keep my words in place and bring a smile to your face

    Hard to believe, but men at war like to remember their loves. As real as war and death are to a soldier; quiet moments in the trenches with a picture of a love is just as compelling and real!

    He speaks well of sharing life as a soldier not just an officer. But the plain bread and salt too.

    I wasnt like you getting lost in the words of the poet.i wasnt like you being enthralled and taken by all those words and verses.i needed more warmth than that and more TRUTH,you know to tell you the truth i needed you the you without all that.yes i needed you more than you knew.more than romantic places and more than exotic artifacts and legends i needed you even when. There was nothing to gain when there was only a future of being shunned and disrespected i needed wanted you. Can you beat that
