The Road Not Taken
by Robert Frost
This is one of Robert Frost's most famous poems. I used this poem two years ago in my "Poem of the Day" series, but I felt it calling to me again, and this time, aside from the first photo, I have illustrated it with photos of one of my favorite unashamed males, Nudist Jeff from Australia.
The "road not taken" is of course a metaphor for a making a choice about how to live your life. Different people have interpreted the choice differently. My interpretation, hinted at in the last photo, is almost certainly not what Robert Frost was thinking, but the greatness of the poem is that each person can apply it to himself.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
Note: although this poem is about choosing between the two roads, I am certainly not suggesting that being gay (the road less traveled) is a choice. We all know it isn't. What you do with it is your choice, "and that has made all the difference."
And in case you hadn't guessed, Nudist Jeff is not only a dedicated nudist, he's gay.

Interesting take on Frost's work. I like Jeff's uncut dick.
Why don't I ever see guys like Jeff on my walks!
Nice!
Beautifully stated...and illustrated!
A very cheery spin on a melancholic classic
