Darlene De Beaulieu Poet Imagism

A Road To Nowhere

A road sign read
The Road To Nowhere
Go straight a mile
Then turn to the left
keep left until sign
Says Town To Nowhere
Welcome one and all


To our very small town
No matter where you go
You will be nowhere
No one gets lost here
Wherever you go
In any direction
You will be in Nowhere

Tony Hargreaves August 15, 2021 at 1:29 PM We've always roadworks in our town/ We drive around and up and down / And many diversions follow / Back to beginning then we go. Darlene De Beaulieu August 15, 2021 at 3:15 PM Hello Tony, roadwork is done here in the summer month into the Fall. When roadwork starts a lot of roads lead to nowhere. traffic is horrible. Cheers!! Darlene
