Nodes connected in linear chains,

Pointers weaving their paths so tight,

Dynamic structures free from array's confines,

Growing and shrinking as nodes alight.

When traversing from head with care,

Each step follows the pointer's trace,

Through memory scattered here and there,

A sequential, ordered embrace.

O(n) time, our searching stream,

Element by element we proceed,

No instant jumps - but flexibility supreme,

For size is freed from static greed.

Arrays and hash tables help store,

But linked lists shine in their way,

Insertions and deletions at their core,

No shifting costs to pay.

Yet, cycles form when pointers stray,

The list becomes an endless maze,

Like Ouroboros biting its own way,

Trapping seekers in a pointer's haze.

So we navigate this node-bound dance,

Where pointers form connections tall,

In the realm of lists where changes enhance,

Lies the essence of dynamic data's call.
