Exceptional An acrostic tribute Miscellaneous Poems - vol 3 : Robert Frost by CD Richards Poet or Author Acrostic contest entry

Roads not taken, paths not trod— to question them seems rather odd. Our past is done, we can't go back. We must proceed along life's track. Boldly forward, deeper in— looking back may be a sin. Eyes to front, we move along. We're sometimes right and sometimes wrong. Regrets serve none, we do not quit. We forge a plan and stick by it. To spend our lives astride a fence, refuse to choose, avoid offence— For fear of harm or consequence is cowardice, and makes no sense. Reliving times long gone by means future plans may go awry. Our life is short, eschew regrets. Let's not balk, nor hedge our bets. Striding onward, ask not whence. Others will say ages hence, That has made the difference. Recognized Author Notes Quoting from the contest guidelines: The whole acrostic can be a single flowing sentence, or a combination of multiple sentences and phrases. Each individual letter of the name can have a single line or multiple sentences and phrases. Creativity with the form is encouraged. This is a tribute of sorts to Frost's poem The Road Not Taken, and as such contains some references to it. If you're not familiar with the poem, it is well worth a read, and easily found by typing the title into Google.
