Sign Catalogue, Post 10, Week 8

Pearls
Leopold Sedar Senghor

White pearls,
Slow droplets,
Droplets of fresh milk,
Lights fleeing along telegraph lines,
Along the long monotonous gray days!
Where are you going?

To which paradise? Which paradise?
The first lights of my childhood
Never found again...


- Repetition is used with "droplets" and "Which paradise?"
- Use of questions to draw the reader in
- Metaphor
- Varied punctuation
- Creates a distinct voice
