Arrière Pensées

RJ Clarken at Poetic Bloomings wants us to write a Pensée, a syllabic poem with a stanza of 2 – 4 – 7 – 8 – 6 syllables. Line one is the subject, line 2 is description, line 3 is action line 4 is the setting and line 5 is final thoughts on the poem.

I loathe syllable counting poems, and to add insult to injury, the Octpowrimo prompt today is to write in or about NUMBERS which I dislike almost as much. I think you can tell, from the poems!

Postcode of five numbers helps the postman to find you. Our new home in le Clos des Champs is five O two one O OR Numbers define people, identify motor cars which might be stolen or speeding. Know my name, not number.

My Social Security  and Tax numbers are about 14 characters long.  Is it any wonder I can’t remember them?  I can remember car numbers in sequence since My Uncle’s Wolseley in 1944, but not the current one!
