40 Poem by Catherine Habbie
40
40 be a special number
It doth have a special place in history
Hear ye and mark not assunder
40 days of the great flood
40 days after enlightened Musa
Offered us the commandments ten
Years of manna in the wilderness 40
Goliath challenged David for days 40
Christ too was tempted in Gethsemane
For days no less but 40 again
The chants in the Hanuman Chalisa 40
The days of fasting to enter Sabrimala 40
The age to study the Kaballa 40
40 is umpteen
40 in Greek is M
40 is when I live again
Awesome! ! The interplay of 40 in global mythology. This study is quite interesting. Thanks, Catherine.
