The poem: "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost
Two roads diverged into 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 as 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 another day!
Yet knowing how way leads onto 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,
I took the one less travelled by That made all the difference. Keep reading..

The first poem I wrote was by accident. I was writing notes for my novel, At Her All. The main character Lara Faye Edison is a college student. I was trying to get inside the main character's head. In my past novels, if I wanted to get into character, I would paint with oil on canvas the location's scenery. Also, I sketched the scene on paper with a pencil and the character’s faces helped my creativity flow. It was like I could talk to the character, and they could talk to me. I am a visual writer. By doing this, the story would flow out of me like turning on a faucet, and the characters came alive. The poem in the novel At Her All is about Lara and her hovering parents.
Poem, “Out from the Shadows” by Jackie Lynaugh
“I wasn’t born to spoil under anyone’s shadow
and rot like an unhatched egg.
I wasn’t born to follow orders.
I wasn’t born for boredom.
I wasn’t born to satisfy someone else’s needs,
to take care of them
or they take care of me
or hide in their arms
or to be taken for granted.
I wasn’t born to follow ideas of what truth is
or to live according to someone beliefs
or to think along their lines
or to learn their facts.
I was born to think independently
I was born to find my own truth
and make my own rules
and find my own way.
I was born to meet life full throttle.
Walk the Appalachian trails.
To be seduced by an alpha male.
Kissed a thousand times
and loved for a million years.
To meet different faces, travel,
and learn other cultures.
Watch the stars at night.
Take long walks
dance on the beach
be swept off my feet
be taken by storm
to be heartbroken.
Stunned.
Shocked.
Devastated.
Lost
and found again.
I was born to get my hands dirty and
plant a garden and watch it grow.
To get sand between my toes.
Mud on my face.
Sand spurs under my feet.
I was born to jump into the ocean.
Pick up seashells and find starfish.
To go beyond time and space.
To welcome miracles.
To share a wishbone
and make a wish.
To totally lose myself.
I was born to feel everything
and to experience everything.
The bitter taste of sorrow.
The foul taste of hatred.
The sweet taste of love.
I was born to learn how to be grateful.
I was born to know the truth
and learn how to give to I have nothing more.
To work hard and play hard.
To pray.
I was born to learn how to speak the language of love
and unlock my heart.
How to take care of my health.
Learn how to let go of all expectations
and let the future unfold like unwrapping a present.
I was born to learn how it feels to lose everything
except for the things that matter.
I am born to spread my wings
fly towards the sun
burn into ashes
fall to the earth and rise again.
I will be proud of my scars and my wrinkles.
My stories.
My memories.
My wisdom.
My freedom.
I was born to be free
and therefore, time will let me live my
life out from the shadows.”

I was walking on the bank of a river in the morning, something very different I saw that I never used to feel before. The chirping of birds on trees and thousands of them were flying, crying, playing, doing everything, doing every possible thing they could… I was wondering why we are killing our own breeds and the reason is our comfort? Why can't we continue human being's lockdowns not 100% but for some part of it It's been about more than 3 weeks since tremendous changes have been happening in our society. I'm feeling very positive in terms of the environment. I have never seen a cold wave in nature, in such a typical summer in my life. I have been taking a very peaceful sleep that I have never gotten before. I could remember my childhood that my father and he used to come from the farm, first and the foremost thing that before entering the home he could wash his legs, hands with the soap and then use to enter the home. keeping his sleepers outside and the same time my mother used to light up the lamps....keep continue
