Blog Assignment #9 Original Poem

I am the stop sign

I ‘m vibrant, chromatic, and showy

and I can’t be missed.

I am the wall between there

and here.

I am more than vexatious obstruction.

Law abiding citizens,

obey me.

I cause mayhem,

Yet provide protection from collision.

I am the stop sign

I am the Berlin Wall

I divide insanity and mayhem.

I am the unforeseen obstacle,

blocking ambitions and aspirations.

Undealt with,

and I flourish cancerously.

I am the mental impasse

during an SAT exam.

Optimists fear me,

pessimists expect me.

I don’t negotiate

nor compromise.

You overrule and overcome me,

are defeated

or withdrawal prematurely.

I am the stop sign
