We are loving our several-times-a-week dips into Poetry 180. Today’s selection (#8 in the series) was especially fun.
Numbers
by Mary Cornish
I like the generosity of numbers.
The way, for example,
they are willing to count
anything or anyone:
two pickles, one door to the room,
eight dancers dressed as swans…
Do read the rest. It goes to wonderful places.
Because It Is November, and I Can Relate
Poetry Friday: “We are not really at home”
Possibly my best idea ever
It’s a Small Internet After All
My Son, Aged Three Years and Five Months
That is wonderful! All of it, wonderful!

I started sending these to my son at college, but I forgot! Thanks for the reminder. I think the young Physics major (!) should really like “Numbers.”
