Adeniji Toluwalope Gideon Poet Free verse

12-12-12

What a great day here do  I behold!
Twelve-Twelve-Twelve
An unusual day of a lifetime accuracy
With significant multiples of twelve

A purposed twelve numeral by God
Twelve sons of Jacob,
Twelve tribes of Israel,
Twelve apostles of the lamb 

This accurate day never was witnessed 
Will I see thee again?
Till sepulcher sleep thou art gone forever.
never can thou add to it a bit.

Clock keeps calculating day and night 
Twelve ampersand twelve equals twenty-four 
The response is “thy days are numbered”
And my heart saw God’s law.

Like the wisest richest king Solomon
The foolish one keeps chasing the wind
Why then had I become wise?
Sepulcher sleep at hand

Andrea Dietrich December 11, 2016 at 7:50 PM Did you write this one four years ago around this time? I wonder if anything extra special happened that day! A very fascinating thing to write about! Adeniji Toluwalope Gideon December 12, 2016 at 12:45 AM Yes, it was written four years ago around this time. I was very happy to witness that day because it takes another one hundred years before such a date could come back. As per the month, we can have 12, as per the day, we can have 12 but as per the year we have to wait for another 100 years. Which means we would have 12-12-13, 12-12-14, 12-12-15, 12-12-16, 12-12-17 etc. Until 2112, we shall never have 12-12-12. Thanks Andrea for this great enquiry.
