OCD I have this odd attraction to numbers picturing them in my mind the even ones my favorites sometimes adding them better enjoyed…multiply by two (they’re all even then) counting, counting…numbers are what I see whether letters in words tiles on ceiling cats lying on me two black, two yellow everything in even numbers it’s an odd obsession but one I enjoy this attraction to numbers |

Numbers are lovely to run through the mind, and see the adding tape collect them all up, being surprised what you have received as a total at the end of the day..enjoyed...gentle smile |

Numbers add up to math, which was my worst subject in school! Interesting view though! Enjoyed this.  |

Numbers are awesome to play with aren't they? Almost as much fun as words!  All writing comes |

JLR~ Fascinating and entertaining ... for YOU ! I'm with PoetdeVine on this one ... When the good Lord handed out mathmatical interest ... I was in the library ! Whew ! Glad He let me have my fill there. I really enjoyed your perspective here. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Numbers are not as attracted as letters to me. Math was never my favorite. Good that you recognize it and enjoy it. Enjoyed this one. |

When they said numbers, my mind mumbled something about chocolate chips cookies and milk, and there went my passion for mathematics. Excellent poem. "I am not now that which I have been." |

Nicely done... captures many things...and tell it all may be livable at the same time it can be crippling |

Numbers, numbers, numbers, How well, I know this curse. In youth, counting number of letters in words, sentences. Alas, the simple number counting has moved away, been replaced with thoughts of death, being alone. Nicely written, and true, too. “I hate quotations, tell me something you know” –Ralph Waldo Emerson |
