The sign on the door says...

The sign on the door says...

A Poem by Colleen C Dunphy

 

Physically closed

Emotionally receptive

Body language slightly standoffish

Trying to be open, receptive

Feeling unsure of how to proceed

Looking for a signal

Waiting for a sign

Yield

Slow

Stop

Green light

Yellow light

Red light

Open for business

Be back in 5 minutes

Don't know what direction to go

Don't know which direction I'm going

Just looking for the sign that says go.

Apropo to life in general, not just the measure of personal interactions.

"Be back in 5 minutes," made me smile because I could picture the sign.

Cool poem L.

Sounds like emotional turmoil caused from not knowing what path in life to take... i loved how this makes the reader feel those mixed emotions at lightening fast speed just like life. Your an amazing writer.

I can relate to confusion. I'm guessing this can be applied in a romantic sense? I'm not usually into the freestyle poetry, but I like the personality and geniuness I get from this poem.
