Road signs always aim to protect.
Well, these are what we do reflect.
"Dip," that's you, I'm "Curves" in a way,
"slippery when wet," well, what else can I say?
"Yield" you could never do
and "Stop" you always intended to.
"Do not enter," I should have said,
but our feelings led "One way"--ahead.
A "U turn" we should have made long ago,
backed it up and taken it "slow,"
and somehow "Danger" comes to mind.
Now I regret not following signs.

Thanks for the reminder! I'll pay more attention to the sign posts along the way in my life!

Neat poem! Very innovative!

excellent use of the "signs" we are afforded, even if ya saw 'em better on the return trip.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
