A Poem with Numbers

April is poetry month. This month I will be crafting and sharing original poems. Often, these poems will be messy and early drafts. Many of us are sharing our poems on twitter using the hashtag, #digipoetry. We hope you join us!

Our lives are 
measured by 
numbers.
I resist numbers.
Turn away.
Ignore them.
Discredit numbers 
by declaring, 
"Numbers are stupid."
But...
I am wrong. 
Numbers are 
NOT stupid.
They don't

Days and days of 
writing and
risking to
tell my 
story...
Time and time 
again, 
300 times over!
