With today’s video of yours and the reading of the poems, you threw us into the deep end, but I wasn’t disappointed-I took it as an exercise. By the way, the way you experienced poetry in school reminded me of my own experience at the age of 13 with the teaching of Ancient Greek, where we had to study from the original texts and analyze grammatical phenomena. You can understand the difficulty and the frustration I felt. This made me, and many others, not want to hear anything related to it.
I am glad that you liked it. As we become mature adults, to some extent, we must overcome our schooling, but the challenge is to do so without bitterness. That was then and this is now. Our supposedly bad experience forms a great foundation for greater pleasure and appreciation in the present This can be referred to as "desirable difficulties". I have an upcoming video on that. Thank you for your remarks which add richness to this experience.
Hello great. When the time is ripe make a video about daily routines in english. I think its one of the most important subjects that acts as the ABC of englush.thanks in advance
Wow. Thank you. Your idea is quite helpful. When one publishes a video a day for months, one can get the impression that the "well is running dry". Ideas for new videos are super appreciated. This one is a really good one. Thank you. Your support is wonderful.
1. The Road Not Taken (1915). 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. 2. Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening (1922). Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow. My little horse must think it queer To stop without a farmhouse near Between the woods and frozen lake The darkest evening of the year. He gives his harness bells a shake To ask if there is some mistake. The only other sound's the sweep Of easy wind and downy flake. 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.
I was just thinking that I should have posted them in print. They are public domain. You do us a great service, here. In the future, when I share a poem, I will learn from your lead and post in print. Thank you for your help and support.
Thank you very much from Brazil 🇧🇷❤

1. The Road Not Taken (1915).
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.
2. Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening (1922).
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
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.
