Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

A Magical Number

A magical number is seven
  Celestial spheres of Heaven

Seven are the Days of Creation
  Each one a Wonder of Imagination

Every Spring, Israel observes Seven
  Days of Freedom, bread without leaven

Seven times seven are the years of Jubilees
  All slaves and mortgaged land to be released

Revere the Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
  Healing Powers attributed to that special one

A very lucky number, indeed, is Seven
  Cash your chips in with Seven, or with eleven

Jennifer Proxenos May 22, 2019 at 12:48 AM Love your poem Gershon and the twist ending it! 7 used to be my mothers lucky number - mine is 3 - well penned my friend. Hugs, Jennifer. Gershon Wolf May 22, 2019 at 9:02 AM Interesting, the number three, esp. in the Bible/Israel's tradition -- 3 Parts of the Bible: Pentateuch, Prophets, and Writings; 3 Patriarchs: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; 3 pillars on which the world stands: Prayer, Torah/Bible, and Good Deeds...And, of course, Catholicism has 3 -- The Father, The Son, and The Holy Ghost. :) gw
