Words Count
by
Greg Pincus
Occasionally, I overwrite:
One word will do, but I'll use plenty.
So, this poem's on a limit.
It only uses
Sometimes, I write things that make me laugh. Sometimes, I write things that make me scratch my head and wonder what I was thinking. Sometimes, I have no clue where poems come from. And sometimes, all three things occur at once. This is one of those times....
The Poetry Friday roundup is over at Irene Latham's blog today. I hope you'll go check it out.

Testing My Nerves -- a poem about nerves/a math test poem
TESTING MY NERVES
By
Gregory K.
Shake.
Quake.
Dry mouth.
Sweaty hands.
Can’t relax, can’t rest --
It must be time for my math test.
Yep, that's another Fib (this one fitting in for both National Poetry Month and Math Awareness Month).
I'm posting an original poem each day in April in celebration of National Poetry Month. Links to this and other poems here on GottaBook (and I post all year round, because poetry is NOT just for April!) are collected over on the right of the blog under the headline "The Poems".

The Fraction Store -- a math poem
THE FRACTION STORE
by
Gregory K.
I bought a quarter pound of eighths.
I bought an ounce of thirds.
I filled a bag with seventeenths that I will feed the birds.
I found a ninth of thirty-eighths.
I grabbed a single half.
The sixths and fifths were one-fourth off, and that caused me to laugh.
As I prepared to pay my bill,
Well, that’s when things got strange.
Although they’re selling fractions there, they cannot figure change.
