Using Poetic Devices

The stones are moving
but yet nothing is touching them
Is it the wind?
or a magical force

they zig zag all about
no destination in mind
is it the wind?
or a magical force

Signs by Five Man Electrical Band

Lyrics

And the sign said "Long-haired freaky people need not apply"
So I tucked my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why
He said "You look like a fine upstanding young man, I think you'll do"
So I took off my hat, I said "Imagine that. Huh! Me workin' for you!"
Whoa-oh-oh

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?

And the sign said anybody caught trespassin' would be shot on sight
So I jumped on the fence and-a yelled at the house, "Hey! What gives you the right?"
"To put up a fence to keep me out or to keep mother nature in"
"If God was here he'd tell you to your face, Man, you're some kinda sinner"

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?

Now, hey you, mister, can't you read?
You've got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat
You can't even watch, no you can't eat
You ain't supposed to be here
The sign said you got to have a membership card to get inside
Ugh!

And the sign said, "Everybody welcome. Come in, kneel down and pray"
But when they passed around the plate at the end of it all, I didn't have apenny to pay
So I got me a pen and a paper and I made up my own little sign
I said, "Thank you, Lord, for thinkin' 'bout me. I'm alive and doin' fine."
Wooo!

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Sign
Sign, sign

Poem inspired by Signs:

everywhere i look i see a sign
they tell me what to do
they tell me what to say
i will not follow the signs
i will break the rules

everywhere i look i see a sign
they tell me i need a shirt and tie
i'm not going to lie
its ridiculous you see
telling me what to be

everywhere i look i see a sign
they do not know
i already know where to go
they cannot see
all i want to be is me

My verse

Poetry is not just about ryhmes and rythym
Poetry is beautiful
It is a way to express ones feelings
happy or sad
It can tell tales of romance and adventure
And can be written by anyone

Poetry

There is a streak of poetry in my vein
Just as there is poetry in the air
And there is poetry in the rain
There is poetry in the first smile of dawn
And poetry in the soft rays of the moon
There is poetry in a blade of grass
And poetry in the balmy evening breeze,
There is poetry riding on the roaring bluegreen waves
And poetry whispering in dark mountain caves
There is poetry in the smile of a child
Just as there is poetry in the deep green wild
Poetry is music and music is magic …..

Poetry means everything to me
My sweet, tantalizing, bewitching lady.

I agree with this poem because I think that poety is everywhere and in the poem it says things such as "There is poetry in a blade of grass." Poetry doesn't mean as much to me as it does to the poet but I share his feeling that poetry can be beautiful.
