Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, 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 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 traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
'The Road Not Taken' by Robert Frost
Note to self: Trixie loooooves smoothies. Maybe I should get her a gift certificate so she can get as much as she wants? I think her birthday is coming up. I mean... She REALLY loves smoothies. She'll pretty much go for any flavor!
Note to self TWO: Except for beets. Learned that the hard way. Gave her the apple banana smoothie I ordered instead. Geez, now I have to drink it.
RE: Note to self TWO: No, wait. Nevermind. I've decided I hate them too. Where's Spike?

Dear Future Starlight Glimmer,
In the future, please think twice before ordering your Great and Powerful friend something in the largest size available without bothering to check what they're into. You'll only find yourself stuck eating/drinking whatever it is she doesn't want for lunch. Also... why DO you order something different from your friends? Even when you're picking for them? It's like you decide that they must like the thing that you aren't into! (Not that you knew what beets tasted like, but that sounds almost worse now that I am writing this down. That's like being a vegan all your life and ordering someone liver because, "Hey, it's meat!" Like, wow, stereotype much?)
Another thing to remember is that Spike also hates beets. He says they taste like someone sprinkled sugar over a tree root. I am inclined to agree with him.
Last thing: maybe don't try to shovel stuff you don't like onto the little guy? He's not your food disposal!
Sincerely,
Past Starlight Glimmer
P.S.
Oh, and you totally need to write down when Trixie's birthday is because it sure as Tartarus wasn't anytime soon! Now we have a gift certificate to the Ponyville Cafe that expires in three months and nopony to give it to. Lame.
P.P.S.
Also, I totally meant for the time joke, Future Starlight Glimmer. You need more reasons to laugh. Even if you have to wince while doing it.
P.P.P.S.
Yes, I AM distracting myself from what happened with Sunburst. Stop judging me you us.
I've always liked that poem.
In the end he looks at the other path with no contempt, just a simple note of the one he had taken.
First time I've read this Letters and so far I've really liked these 3. I'll certainly be going back and reading the previous ones.

Heh. That's certainly a valid interpretation. Did you check out the link under the poem? Robert Frost has a great sense of humor.

Great! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed these. Hopefully the earlier entries will be equally agreeable. I should have collected these under a tag ages ago.
