Half-Eleven

Half-eleven, broken down, is five-point-five. Fun gives five its drive. Half-eleven isn’t just one five; it’s two. Double fun - Woo-Hoo! My birth “day” is a five. Fives are in my year. Five became my seer. My life path is five in numerology. Five means fun; lots of fun is my destiny. Half-eleven, broken down, is five-point-five. With fun’s number I’ve thrived! With five I jive! Nov. 21, 2018 for the Half-Eleven Poetry Contest Using Nina Parmenter's Invented Half-Eleven Form

So fun to read this tribute to your favorite number! I am writing a half-eleven poem and wanted to see how other people wrote one. It's very clever how you literally divided eleven in half to get 5.5. Isn't that your height 5'-5.5"? Wonderfully fun, I hope it got a win in Nina's contest.

I think it did not win. Also, gosh dang it, my youngest granddaughter age 13 is now 5 foot four inches and standing next to her, we are the same. I am so upset to know I have shrunk by an inch and a half!!!
