the green,
teams often
numbered seventeen,
our jumpers placed as goal posts,
such after-school football now a long-lost dream.

Seventeen small syllables
To tell its story.

Seventeen years of life to
Understand her heart.

frenziedly to spread their genes...

Maud was old and lazy
Her life was becoming hazy
Some days she thought she was seventeen
Another she was her Majesty the Queen
She was happy being crazy
Seventeen candles on her cake
the world awaits with all it offers
~ a bouquet of budding dreams

Where had her dog been all those days?

And a wife, courtesy, of her neighbor Shay

Pele wins World Cup at seventeen.
Letting proud Brazilians cheer and preen.
Scored six goals in victory
National Treasure we all see
He’s the best soccer player ever seen.
A hip old-timer in Bowling Green
somehow thinks he’s still seventeen
His hair’s Brill Cream slick
He thinks Gidget’s his chic
And he’s sure he’s the next James Dean

Seventeen is the sum of eight and nine
The difference of twenty minus three is fine.
If you're not a fool,
and you stay in school,
it's the squareroot of two hundred eighty-nine.
heartstrings fluttering
this woman’s soul revives highs —
only seventeen

Maureen McGreavy’s Sing Me A Senryu Poetry Contest
Song: Dancing Queen
ah, delicate twilight secrets
Oahu twilight, drawn by faeries
under an orange and pink sky
secrets never told are revealed
they are seventeen
neither will ever love this hard again
From dawn to dusk on March Seventeen,
Irish soil, skies and seas glow in green.
Men marry bottles of beer,
Women whirl in parade-cheer...
Silly sight and sounds steal twilight-scene.
At seventeen or seventy
we can truly be young
or old,
not by the number
of years we EXIST,
but by the number
of times we LIVE
for Truth and Justice
that we boldly
uphold.
A doctor who worked in Bombay
Banned seventeen patients one day
They all had Delhi belly ...
Waiting room got so smelly
Receptionist turned them away!

Welcome to China’s gorgeous Yangtze River
third largest river in the world
rising at Jari Hill
in the Tanggula Mountains
christianed Quian by Marco Polo
seventeen hundreds renamed Blue River
Grayson, a great white found a beacon in the water
we are meant to follow it, he told his daughter
he followed it seventeen times around the cape
an ordinary basketball which had made an escape
