I’ve been thinking about poems on the subject of counting. Sounds random but that is the theme of the National Poetry Competition and also the Poetry Society Stanza competition. I’m a member of a Stanza in Mole Valley Poets so eligible for both. These competitions are good for making you think, quite apart from anything else. My initial response was to muse on the Bible verse which says that the hairs on our heads are numbered. I ended up with a poem which amused me but is probably not what the competition judges will be looking for - so I’m sharing it here…
