One, Two, Three, Four , Five

One breath to clear the mind.

Two Hearts beating in time,
Two lives beginning to rhyme.

Three hopes in a deep ocean,
Three ideas now in motion,
Three dreams deep with emotion.

Four winds to desire,
Four acts you require,
Four directions to aspire,
Four seasons you’ll acquire.

Five tastes we will pursue,
Five promises made to renew,
Five senses you must subdue,
Five days of work to get through,
Five ways to make it come true.

As an engineer, I love numbers, and as a person, I love good poetry — and your poem has both.

Why thank you. I was considering 6,7,8,9,10 next but I think there are other ways to combine the two

Alison, This is a very clever form of poetry using these numbers. In this poem, I especially like the couplet. Well done! Moon Harp
