    I have never done any contest before, but i think this could be fun. I have never came across any poem on this site about number, now write a poem on your lucky or unlucky number. It could be 1- 1000 or you could use more than one number in your poem. Make it meaningful and that we can feel why it's your 'special' number. It could be lucky or unlucky. Also the poem could be any style, love, inspirational, sad, etc. which the deadline is extended until the 15 of march. here's a poem i wrote about number 13 which is my lucky number, what's your's?
    lol thank you.

    Lucky number 13

    Acute power or a mystical virtue?
    Not daring to venture further
    Became superstitious by token and sign,
    Leaving the most positive meanings behind

    Ends with a 3 that reminds me of the trinity
    A belief that kept within
    All good things comes in double,
    You're not alone just behind 1
    Together you became 13 an age in certain
    Tradition when a boy became a man

    Among the many numbers
    People pretends you came out the worst
    even saying that you are a curse
    But besides all others, you came first
    Ignorance do hurts,
    So they put you behind as a negative sign

    Thinking of you makes me enjoy
    The intricacies of mental calculates
    A million seconds in 13 days,
    13 stripes for thirteen states
    A Friday 13 in every year

    Again let me be a bit humoristic
    Since I'm in love with mathematics
    For those who calculates well,
    Come let me play with your head
    Close your eyes using the power of your mind
    Pick and choose which power hidden inside you
    The clock strike 13 hours, the mind reminds
    us that it's 1 'o' clock,
    infact we're back at the starting block

    Since things became a mystery we tend
    Not to go beyond our senses
    13 is a number that all human share
    The 13 major joints in our body
    13 lunar cycles in a solar year
    And the moon travels 13 degrees across the sky everyday
    Making things works in a mysterious way.

    I know this is a difficult challenge, that's why i have never came across a poem on numbers, yet we uses numbers everyday yet so difficult to put in words. Who's up for this?

    Numbers:

    x + y = z
    it all seems so easy
    substitute 1, 2, 3
    and the answer should be
    as simple as ABC

    but life's not all numbers
    and letters
    or shape and size
    everything is not even or odd
    a square root does not make you wise
    and 3.14 doesn't sound like a God

    so x + y does not equal z
    everything is not easy
    we're neither 1, 2, or 3
    and the answer won't always be
    as simple as 1, 2, or 3

    that's it! not the best i know but...!

  • Lemma

    Does the poem have to actually be about the number or can the number represent something?

    It can be about a number representing something.

    At The Third Cross

    He is the lily
    enfolding me in lips
    of chaste psalms
    and sing-along rain.
    His three fingers
    transform into buds,
    dipping into time
    unsolved by history.
    I muse again
    how his one wing
    provided life
    for other wilting,
    wanderers of the faith.
    He has resurrected
    the spirit of hope.
