Underbrush.

_____social roads
___i follow
_it leads- i follw
social paths
________blazed by few
followed by many
_______and i follow
__why, i think, venture into
the thick underbrush
_________where no one else hath tread?
why, I ask
______blaze a trail
____when one is `ready blazed?
And so I follow
_the social paths
___i follow
_____social roads.

underbrush ©2005 by me


yes it's making fun of 'the road less traveled by'. becuase that guy thinks he's all great going against the majority, but he's still following a road.

EDIT: grr... it got rid of my spacing. i'll add in __ for spaces.

yes i know the spacing thing is incredibly irritating, it has done it to me too.

i like it, but it doesnt convey the meaning you explained, i dont think

the 'i' in the poem seems perfectly willing to except that he's following a social path. yes i know its irony, but i dont think its clear enough.

disregarding the provided meaning, i absolutel love it, though

i quite like it actually, the idea you were going for does come across, but yeah perhaps not as strong as you would've liked. i still like it a lot though. thumbsup.gif

the irony- i wasn't trying for any idea. it came after the poem.

i was sitting in math and i decided to write a poem.
and that's what came out.
