 THE ROAD NOT TAKEN
ROBERT FROST

TWO ROADS DIVERGED IN A YELLOW WOOD

AND SORRY I COULD NOT TRAVEL BOTH
AND BE ONE TRAVELLER, LONG I STOOD
AND LOOKED DOWN ONE AS FAR AS I COULD
TO WHERE IT BENT IN THE UNDERGROWTH

THEN TOOK THE OTHER, 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 ANY OTHER 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 TRAVELLED BY,
AND THAT HAS MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE.

COATES KINNEY

WHEN THE HUMID SHADOWS HOVER

OVER ALL THE STARRY SPHERES
AND THE MELANCHOLY DARKNESS
GENTLY WEEP IN RAINY TEARS,
WHAT A BLISS TO PRESS THE PILLOW
OF A COTTAGE-CHAMBER BED
AND LIE LISTENING TO THE PATTER
OF THE SOFT RAIN OVERHEAD

EVERY TINKLE
ON THE SHINGLES
HAS AN ECHO IN THE HEART;
AND A THOUSAND DREAMY FANCIES
INTO BUSY BEING START,
AND A THOUSAND RECOLLECTIONS
WEAVE THEIR AIR-THREADS INTO WOOF,
AS I LISTEN TO THE PATTER
OF THE RAIN UPON THE ROOF.

NOW IN THE MEMORY COMES MY MOTHER,

AS SHE USED IN YEARS AGONE,
TO REGARD THE DARLING DREAMERS
ERE SHE LEFT THEM TILL THE DAWN:
O! I FEEL HER FOND LOOK ON ME
AS I LIST TO THIS REFRAIN
WHICH IS PLAYED UPON THE SHINGLES

HE GLIDES THROUGH THE WATER AWAY
FROM THE STROKE. O LET HIM GO
OVER THE WATER
INTO THE REEDS TO HIDE
WITHOUT HURT. SMALL AND GREEN
HE IS HARMLESS EVEN TO CHILDREN.
ALONG THE SAND
HE LAY UNTIL OBSERVED
AND CHASED AWAY, AND NOW
HE VANISHES IN THE RIPPLES

FRIDAY
DEAR DIARY,
TODAY WAS ALSO AN EVENTFUL DAY AS MY GRANDFATHER FELL DOWN ON
ROAD AND IN EVENING VERY STRONG WINDS BLOWN, WHICH I THINK
WERE THE MOST STRONGEST WINDS BLOWN TILL I WAS BORN. THE DAY
WAS GOING GOOD, WE ATE OUR BREAKFAST AND AFTER THAT I STARTED
DOING MY HOLIDAY HOMEWORK WITH MY FRIEND. THEN SUDDENLY
AROUND 1 PM A CALL CAME TO MY FATHER, WE ALL WERE SCARED TILL
THE CALL ENDED. MY FATHER TOLD US THAT THE GRANDFATHER HAD
FALLEN DOWN IN FRONT OF A CLINIC. WE ALL PANICKED UNTIL MY
FATHER BROUGHT OUR GRANDFATHER TO THE HOME. WE ALL THANKED
GOD THAT HE WAS ALL FINE. WHEN HE SETTLED HIMSELF HE TOLD US THE
WHOLE INCIDENCE WE THANKED THE COUPLE THAT HELPED HIM. AFTER
THAT WE ALL WENT BACK TO OUR WORK. MY MOTHER BROUGHT OUR
LUNCH AND WE ALL ATE THE LUNCH TOGETHER. AND WE ALL AGAIN WENT
BACK TO THE CHORES. AFTER 2-3 HOURS, STRONG WINDS STARTED
BLOWING AND IT STARTED RAINING VERY HARD AND THE CLOUDS AT THE
SAME THUNDERED VERY LOUDLY. I WAS REALLY VERY SCARED AT THE
SAME TIME. THE MOST THREATFUL EVENT THAT HAPPENED WITH ME WAS
THAT WHEN THE WIND WAS BLOWING THE WINGS OF FAN STARTED
MOVING ON ITS OWN DUE THE PRESSURE OF THE WIND AND AFTER 1 HOUR
IT ALL SETTLED AND WE STARTED DOING OUR WORK. AT NIGHT AFTER
EATING THE DINNER I PLAYED THE MOBILE GAME WITH MY FRIENDS AND
THEN I PLAYED CARD GAMES WITH MY FAMILY MEMBERS AND THEN SLEPT
VERY PEACEFULLY.

SUNDAY
DEAR DIARY
TODAY WAS THE MOST HORRIBLE DAY OF MY SUMMER VACATION AS
THERE WAS A THREATFUL THEFT THAT HAPPENED IN MY
NEIGHBORHOOD HOUSE WHEN OUR NEIGHBOURS WERE NOT
PRESENT AT THAT TIME BECAUSE THEY WERE GONE TO THEIR
RELATIVES PLACE. THE DAY WAS GOING NICE. I WOKE UP, ATE MY
BREAKFAST, OFFERED PRAYER TO GOD, I SAW OFF MY DAD FOR THE
OFFICE AND THEN STARTED DOING MY WORK. AFTER SPENDING 2-3
HOURS IN MY WORK, I ATE MY LUNCH AND TOOK A BREAK. TILL THE
EVENING I WAS ON A BREAK AND FROM 6 PM TO 8PM I CONTINUED MY
WORK AND BY THE TIME MY FATHER ARRIVED. EVERYTHING WAS
GOING GOOD. AROUND 9:30 PM MY GRANNY SWITCHED OFF THE
LIGHTS OF THE STAIRCASE AND SHE SAW THAT THE DOOR OF OUR
HOUSE WAS LOCKED ITSELF AND THE NEIGHBOURHOOD DOOR WAS
OPENED. MY GRANNY CALLED MY FATHER AND MY GRANDFATHER.
THEY CALLED OUR NEIGHBOURS AND THE POLICE FOR
INVESTIGATION. WHEN THEY ARRIVED WE ALL ENTERED THEIR HOUSE
AND SAW THAT THE NUTS WERE FALLEN DOWN ON THE FLOOR THE
ALMIRAH WAS OPENED AND THE THINGS KEPT IN THE ALMIRAH WERE
MISSING. WE ALL WERE SHOCKED AND CAME BACK TO OUR HOUSE
AND SLEPT WITH SORROW.
