"Stopping by the Woods on the Way to Orlando"

Whose woods are these
I think I know
His house is in
Orlando though.

My little truck
Must think it queer,
To stop without
A gas pump near.

I cut the motor
And open the door
And view with my camera
The woods before.

The only sound
The silent love
Of light wind
In the trees above.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep
But I have promises to keep
And miles to go before I sleep
And miles to go before I sleep.

My apologies to Robert Frost. This is why I am a painter and not a poet. But these woods are much the same as Robert Frost's woods. There just isn't any snow and there is no horse anymore. But I have tried to capture that same idea of woods being lovely, dark and deep. I hope I succeeded.

Thanks for looking.

I can't believe no one remarked on your poetry! It made me grin,and Frost probably would have, too. Your paintings are quite good.
