Short Numeric Poems

Comes through well and woe 
Numeric change in counting 
For new birth or death

When raised to the third - a power of two
The number of corners on dice or a cube
Legs on a spider that some people dread
Orbiting planets 'cept Pluto 'nuff said
For nerds the number of bits in a byte
Pawns in a chess game - side black or side white
Brings luck in the east - by no means a curse
Number of lines in this numeric verse...

Grand Canyon darkness—city nights,
towering votives in wingless flight
Elevator to the desperate peak,
ninety-nine floors above the waiting street

Torment and doubt ride to the top,
buttons numeric finally stop
Ten steps to the railing, writhing in pain,
the cure within reach—calling your name

Panic at the food bank where people are numeric
Disorderly behaviour brought wildly hysteric
Fits of frenzied actions triggering great fear
pushing, shoving all around with piercing screams in ear.
The lady was in queue as were the rest of us then
suddenly her water broke and oh my gosh- the fuss! 
Now all are fine back in line and many are impressed
how ideal the babies meal made from mothers’ breast....

Digital Era technology
Computer Age machinery
Lost and found 
In the Information Age frown
Taking place, face to face
The desire to do, whatever, in grace
Necessary to get the praise
For speed and space
Of knowledge turnover 
Required for super minded processor 
Gathered and decided 
To influence their devices
On computer reality communication 
By transmitting information
Into a discrete numeric routine
Merry go round machine...

Fraud and deception of the affluent eyes
Toss my purpose aside and let me hemorrhage humiliation
Drops of unappreciative pain plaster and soil black  
Cackles to hide my mammoth of hurt
Echo through a maze of sovereigns and numeric cipher

I’m a non-significant member of manuscript
An unknown, a recluse, a bother
Gauche trials of loss and fray
Matter to none who play the game
Yet in our tightly packed world

The Joker is always included....

Ashes of humanity
Scattered and lingered in hearts of purity
Hallowed and spirited within the psyche of infinity

Weaving with man's joy and sorrows
Entwined with lattices of honey yellows
Drifting in clouds of human form
Numeric and linguistic crypts of cuneiform
Endearing are thoughts and words, not jive
Sprinkled ashes etched on books of archive
Doors that opened to human interest
All come alive in ashes, blots and dearest
Your ash is the strength, honor of the fittest...
