Lee Slater Biography

(N.B. Perceived similarities between characters in my poems and real life people are coincidental in nature - other than Apollo, no other character is based on any real person.) As we reach an age of hypermedia and immediacy, I would like to act as a youthful regeneration of the agéd-but-much-loved art of poetry. My poetry is mostly influenced by my own personal experiences, which many others had written about before me, but I had never understood until now. The 'Ave Luna' series is about the awakening of my feelings of love and devotion; the first time I had ever felt that way. As well as harboring some contextualisation with Greek Mythology, I would like to say that it is semi-autobiographical in the way it represents my own maturation and Apollo was designed to represent me in all the poems I write, but he serves as more an alter-ego rather than a complete replicate of me.)

The Best Poem Of Lee Slater

The Road Less Travelled By

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
One was lilac, and the other was painted blue
The lilac path was muddy along the ground
Rays of sunshine, like beacons, lighting up the way.

I know in my mind
That I took the road less travelled by
And that has made all the difference.

The blue path was worn, worn into the ground
Eagles looked down, at the footprints of the people
I could not see, over the hill by either path
But the blue path had prints, and the lilac had so few.

I know in my mind
That I took the road less travelled by
And that has made all the difference.

I am here today, I am who I am
Because of the choices, and the roads I have travelled by
I took the lilac path, it led me to my salvation
My friends took the blue path, now they heed my advice.

I know in my mind
That I took the road less travelled by
And that has made all the difference.
