Numbers In Heaven (Free verse) by Dovina

My name is 183, one of myriad, born in heaven, nestled eternally between two evens, and called, with affection, odd. Some of us are prime, numbers so perfect they were flung to distant worlds, if maybe there, their beauty too might be beheld. I take delight in knowing I am certain, fixed and real, never to be forsaken or replaced, unique, useful, unmatched and unmatchable. Pregnant with potential in Platonic minds, we odds alone, save the chosen 2, titillate their senses. Sometimes in anxious moments, Senses failing, in the wonder of it all, I feel an urgent sadness, imagine myself a figment of their god-like minds, a bipolar disturbance, perhaps a mere conveyance, no more than an assertion, a useful word. Then I feel contrived by them for pleasure and convenience, lovely only in their minds. But as the notion passes, I rest in heavenly peace, unequaled and real, fixed and founded, uniquely placed by God.

183 is junk too. You stated 183 could be an odd number for all that it matters. So how can you expect us to think it's unique? Oh let's see, maybe 183 is just a name lik Bob. Well then why is Bob nestled between 2 evens? Of course the number 183 is nestled between 2 evens and presumably will be eternally. That's the statement you made in your poem and let's admit it's quite an obvious statement. So you didn't need to tell us that, hence it's junk. I actually thought 183 was a star at first. That metaphor would have worked great but then 183 wouldn't be eternal. Maybe you should take some advice from faithmairee and write a little more about what you know. I still think it's a great idea but I think you took the metaphor a little too far.
