Not boring at all. I enjoyed reading this poem about lines. I like the way you formatted your work with each little verse expressing its own subject with some rhymes and ending with a statement about lines. Your words/lines flow smoothly with great imagery. The image is a great match, too.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

I admire your fantastic take on lines....life travels in circles and at some point one has to draw the line; a very well lined poem; thank you for the treat.

So glad I still have a 6 for this excellent, thought-provoking poem You have used numerous specific, meaningful examples to convey your theme.
The title reminds me of the song "Signs" ("Signs, signs, everywhere
signs"--by Five Man Electrical Band, '71).

Linda, great poem. I really enjoyed it. It seems everywhere in every aspect of life there is a line we must cross, or wait in. I love all the different forms of lines you write about. Excellent poem. Good luck in all your writing.

Comment from Beverly A McBride
I, too, long ago wrote a poem about lines. Mine was more about the wait and use of time in lines scaring our psyches. So I was pleased and amused to see your poem about the plethora of lines we cope with every day. I think lines are a phenomenon of our times. I like your relating to cocaine lines, signing on the line, and to yellow lines restricting our movement. Lines have a whole new meaning these days, with social distancing everywhere we turn, eh? Good job, Hope you do well in the contest.

Roy, no, I haven't been well. Was in the hospital and still recuperating at home. Was diagnosed with emphysema. That is what 31 years of smoking cigarettes will get ya even though I quit 17 years ago. Three breathing treatments per day now and forever, I guess. So now I have Gerd, Coronary Artery disease, Congestive Heart Failure and Emphysema . . .but I'm still alive! LOL Nice talking with you. Keep safe. Linda

I will pray for you Linda. I was a smoker, but gave up when God got a hold in me. Well done, bless you, Roy
Comment from Iza Deleanu
What can you do with a line? You can sign on it, you can walk on it, you can obey, you just offer us so many issues of the line charade. "stopped into a church to pray
comforting way to end her day
to receive communion, will wait in another line
" Thank you for sharing and good luck with your writings.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written poem about all the visible lines we come across every day and often not even notice the many different kinds of lines and their purpose until we go sit down and think about this.
