Numerical Poetry
Start with any number, only numbers 1 to 10. This number represents the number of letters of any one-word that matches the number that you chose. You thought of "5," for example, this should be a five-letter word. Start with this word (any word), but doesn't have to be a personal name or proper noun. You can do it too, but make sure you describe it in a very positive way. It will serve as your poem title and subject or point of interest how you explore this word. ("5" doesn't imply a five line-poem or five stanzas or only 5 five letter-words in each line, however, this can be also be considered as numerical poetry).
Once you started the poem with your given word, end your poem with the same title-word or any word containing the same number of letters of your poem title.
Your poem can be written short or long and it can be presented in any format where you can express it freely.
Describe your emotions from within. Poetry is everyone's life. Yours matters!
Simple
Simple as driving and flying
Simple as cooking and eating
Reading or writing
Or playing and sharing.
Life is not all about material things.
You may not have much
But you are worth more than a sack of gold
taken from an empty catch
When you have yourself as You!
Simple...
Dimple!
Simple living is like thriving with a dimple. You are not too great, yet simple in your own ways. Life will bring you down, but don't forget you have an invisible dimple too! No matter how hard life strikes, a single dimple can save your life. Don't forget to smile because dimples can be felt everywhere without physically seeing them from everybody. You can still be attractive and be accepted even without natural dimples that many people have around you. Just think you have at least one... inside of you!
P.S.
If you thought of two or three or four different numbers from 1 to 10 and want to combine them as your poem-title, come up with your own style of writing in any way you can express it. End with the same title or equivalent to each letter-word written in different words
