The peace of wild things by Wendell Berry

I think this poem is about: The first part is about lying awake at night in fear of the future. Seems like a valid point considering the state of the economy. The secound and last part is about finding peace and just not worrying about it. Maybe there's some greater meaning but if so I'm missin' it.

As for getting ready for the classroom competition I'll just keep practicing saying my poem. I don't know how well I'll do. Probably not first any way. hhhmmm maybe in the top 10 though. That is my prediction now let me alone.

The road not taken

I've chosen the road not taken as the poem I'm going to write about. From the surface it appears to be about the author choose of a path to talk. metaphorically speaking it speaks of paths in life that one can choose. the author said "I took the one less traveled by" and wondered if he choose the right one.

I unlike the author had no choose in road I took and still do. Though my road is far from pristine I still travel it day after day. I look for away of this road but I don't see anyway. The road is paroles and presents many challenges I must face for there's no going back. Only forwards I say no looking for there must a way of this track.
