SUZETTE PRIME
Syllable count: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, etc PLUS a philosophical statement
A prime number (or a prime) is a natural number greater than 1 tha has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself.
Philosophy is the study ofgeneral and fundamental problems, such as those connected with reality, existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language.
Any combination of a prime number syllable count may be usedper line. Do avoid mirror images as this will detractfrom the free style feel. The line breaks serve as punctuation and no caps used,unless it is called for, as in my poem, DivineLove. Any topic which lends itself to a philosophical statement is suitablefor SUZETTE PRIME.
Example
THE FISH EAGLE
master of the river calling to his mate
I lift my face to the early morning sun
just in time to see him swoop
extending talons
scooping fish
bearing it aloft
he settles
on an overhanging branch
and savors his catch of the morning – ripping
all’s right with the world – the fish eagle and I

DIVINE LOVE
situations change
we are driven to despair
when we forget His infinite love for us
His divine plan is not for us to divine
our destiny is ordained
great is His mercy
all we need to do, is ask
