Visual Poetry: The Road Not Taken

[RiverBirch1967]

I am a Christian, not Pagan, but I still find this to be very beautiful, so poetic. It can apply to all of us, on any path. Robert Frost is one of my favorite poets.

[PaintedRavensong]

@RiverBirch1967 Well, I don't think that the poetry is religious at all in nature and my reasons for using it are about my roads that I've traveled with my sexuality. I'm not sure what Robert Frost's religious preferences were...would be interesting to know though, eh?

[RiverBirch1967]

@PaintedRavensong I never guessed sexuality. You are seemingly so confident in that, it never crossed my mind. I guessed religion PLUS and mainly PLUS, the journeys that we all take in our lives, and they are large in number. I adore this video, and now that you have told me more, I love it even much so.

[RiverBirch1967]

@RiverBirch1967 Would be very much so indeed. Would love to be able to ask him. I assumed Pagan because of your dress (beautiful btw).

[PaintedRavensong]

@1994infinitytruelove Thank you so very much. I made that outfit a few years ago for our Renaissance Faire. You are very kind.

[mfost0424]

you must be a spirit that guides in this world to bring us to ourselves through your videos and artian ways...

[PaintedRavensong]

@mfost0424 You are very sweet...I just follow my heart in what I'm lead to do videos on and pray that someone gets anything out of them...hehehe Thank you so very much!

Hey Mic! I loved how that bird zipped through at 45 seconds too bad he went to the left instead of the right... he could have been a spirit guide!!

[PaintedRavensong]

@naddog180 Hi Willie...that was actually a huge bug...hehehe I slowed the footage down when I was making it to see when I first noticed that. But you know how it is here in FL...our bugs are as big as birds!...heheheh HUGS! Enjoy this awesome weather today!

[OhCurt]

Knowing what your journey has been like, this poem fits perfectly on your channel here.

Lovely adaptation (and cool outfit!)

((((Mic))))

[PaintedRavensong]

@OhCurt Yes, Curt...I really find that this resonates with me greatly!! Thank you about the dress...I made it about 4 or 5 years ago for our Ren Faire fun! (((CURT)))

[themajikat]

The idea that this poem is about individuality and independence only makes sense if you read the last few lines. If you take into account lines like "just as fair", "both that morning equally lay" etc..., we see that there is no road less taken, but that the poem rather seems to be about regret and personal myth-making or rationalizing our decisions.

[PaintedRavensong]

@themajikat Thank you for this great comment...yes, indeed...rationalizing our decisions...I can see how that is represented. I suppose it speaks to us all in different ways depending upon our life's experiences. Thanks!!!

[SunnyDazStormyNitz]

Love when you do the visual poetry. Beautiful Mic.

[PaintedRavensong]

@SunnyDazStormyNitz  Thank you...I really enjoy doing this!

[bugsinrug]

lovely, lovely. I believe that you are an "old soul" Mic. The costume is perfect for you. hugs, Chris

[PaintedRavensong]

@bugsinrug Thanks Chris...I've had a lot of people tell me that...I do feel old a lot of times...hehehe HUGS!

[AdamHintz]

Amazing! Well Done.

[PaintedRavensong]

@AdamHintz Thanks Adam!!!

[harleynanda]

The imagery and symbolism are great. If there is nothing at least slightly 'mystical' about it, then you are on the wrong path. If life does not both fascinate and challenge, then it is a life not lived.

[PaintedRavensong]

@harleynanda Thanks Harley...yes, we need fascination and challenge for sure!!!

[madeofyucca]

This is one of my favorite poems too. And you look so beautiful !

[PaintedRavensong]

@madeofyucca Thank you so very much, Yucca...I love this poem!

[longhairred]

This is very special!

[PaintedRavensong]

@longhairred Thank you so very much!

[NiteBlogger]

What I like best about the road less traveled is there is no gridlock, thus one can soar!

Lovely visuals for this poem. Great job!

[PaintedRavensong]

@NiteBlogger Thank you so very much. Yes, no gridlock...just our own pace no matter what that is...

[nancyleeould]

Beautiful Mic!

This is also one of my favorite poems by Robert Frost as well. Love your costume and the staff if gorgeous. This era really suits you.

Hugs~Nancy

[PaintedRavensong]

@nancyleeould Thank you Nancy...I just love Frost as well!!! HUGS!!!!
