By The Numbers Poem by Grace Diane Jessen
By The Numbers
We are following the numbers
as they dominate the news.
The statistics in from China
are enough to give us clues
of the fate our country faces
in the days or weeks ahead
as they count the ones infected
and the ones already dead.
One report says twenty thousand
caught the virus in a day.
Someone else claims seven hundred
in the state have passed away.
We are staying home and trying
to stay well. It's not much fun,
but we know it will be worth it
if we help to save just one.
Great your poem/// numbers of passed aways threatening us horribly! sometimes it makes us near to dyinig!
I left a comment on this yesterday, but it's not showing up yet. I thought comments would show up sooner on the NEW Poem Hunter!
A wonderful poem with a meaningful message in this time of uncertainty. Well expressed and crafted.
Terrible numbers, terrible news, but great poem. Five stars!

Great poem. This is the second time I have read it. I saw it yesterday in that book you mentioned in the poet's notes. You have one other poem in the book that you may wish to share with Poem Hunter.
