Who knew traffic lights could inspire??

Laura's challenge for "15 Words or Less Poems" today is an everyday sight for most Americans.  Why don't you try your hand at these short works?  It takes just a few minutes when you know words are limited...and in my case, three ideas popped in my head in an instant :).

Some think it's merely suggestion
Which greatly disrupts my digestion
And causes mass-traffic congestion!


Red says "Stop!"  Green says "Go!"
Yellow shouts a loud "OH NOOOOO!!

Signs of time, signs of life
Yielding order, causing strife
Quietly, give direction
Keeping safe each intersection.
