Signs

Signs

A Poem by Rogue

Girls, Boys,
Stop, Go,
House number, Street name,
Ice Cream on the side of the truck

Cross walk, Bus stop,
Telephone, Elevator,
Police, Hospital
That big mouse on Chuck-E-Cheese

One way, Lane Ends,
Empty, Full
Camping, Falling Rock
There are pecans left at exit 248

Help wanted, Now hiring
Meeting in progress, Out to lunch,
Bulletin Board, Company logo,
This parking space is reserved for Bob

Man, Woman,
Couples Only, Do Not Disturb,
Just Married, Baby on Board,
"A*****e" on your name tag

You have listed so many signs.
Many more remains unlisted.
But,that matters little.
You have painted the theme so vividly!
I can list all the signs for you and think them in the context of your golden piece.

Signs are all around us and are used in multitude of ways . Direction , warning , informative , advertisement , message , jobs . And there are those signs in the heavens and the whole universe that humanity have been trying to decipher for the longest . We just have to observe and learn .
A great piece you have penned...:)

I really like this, but I think while it would change the meaning, cutting the last stanza down to "A*****e", just the one word, would make a lot more of an impact. Alternatively. find a shorter way to make the point in the end. The last stanza using all long descriptions is too different from the choppy short sentences that came before it for it to really fit.

I think so! I like that you can tell a story so simply.
The way it started, I expected a joyful nostalgic piece, memories of childhood perhaps. But then I kept reading, and, just like when we grow up, things became bleaker... Nice progression in this poem, the tone changes, we go through so many emotions... Well done my friend! :)
