The Seventh Number

In seven notes a song is sung,

In seven worlds a dance is done.

For seven years a heart is made,

For seven lives a life is laid.

With seven words a story is read,

With seven lines a story is said.

Take a seven and make it true make it all it is to you.

I love how you picked a certain number and then based your whole poem around it, it not only shows off your talent for poetry, but also gives the reader some newly conceived thought about that number that they wouldn't normally otherwise think of. Wonderful job and keep on writing! :)

Interesting. I do enjoy poetry like this. I have a thing for the number three. Thrice is eternal.

Seven is just a symbol of life, in this piece. Life made or unmade. Life lived or dead. Life taken or forsaken. I really like it.

My only suggestion is instead of saying "story" twice, kind of messes up your flow there, maybe make one "tale" or... Get this... "With seven words history is made." (doesn't need to be a perfect rhyme. But if you want one you can go with "With seven words history is read." Same ending, same line, just history instead of story).

This is very beautiful and I love how you chose the number seven(my understanding is that it is the number of completeness and perfection. Being a Christian of course I believe the universe was completed in seven days)
Your poem is wonderfully thought provoking and your last line hits the reader with that eternal quest...to make life all it means to you (positively that is!)
