It’s a large part of my life
It’s been with me since birth
It’s the number of my house
I was once 22, believe it or not,
My father always had it in his lotto numbers
Not that it has brought us any luck, yet!
It has I am sure mathematical significance,
There’d be no 23 with out good old 22.
Each language and culture I am sure
Should I look them up in turn,
Would point out some significance.
But mostly I like 22
It feels warm and ever so homely
Friendly and companionable.
It’s a comfort when I see it
22 and my comfort zone
Go happily hand in hand.

Liked this…cool that number 22 is so special…I’ll have to google as suggested to see other meanings, thanks for participating!
Thank Georgia, it was a fun exercise.
You’re welcome, but Jen did the prompt, and I’m sure she’ll love reading your poem!
Well i did enjoy the task.
I’m very happy you did!
I don’t think I have a favourite number. 22 does look homely though I smiled at I was once 22.
And you were once Jenny. Thanks for reading and your comment.
Awwww, 2 and 2 go hand in hand. That’s sweet.
Thank you Larry. Like peas in a pod.
I like the number 22, good number Michael. My favorite number is 13, lol, for special reasons too.
Thanks Jackie, it does have a homely ring to it doesn’t it.
What a wonderful poem!!!! Thank you so much for accepting the challenge and sharing such wonderful thoughts. It’s funny too – my son’s favorite number is 22, no kidding.
All the best to you —
Thanks Jen. It was an interesting one to explore, excellent prompt. Have a good evening.
You too!
We’re off to the drive-in movies tonight! Hooray! Our local theater survived the expensive switch to digital. 🙂
Glad you liked the prompt.
The drive in…wow not many of them left over here now days. Have fun.
Hopefully the weather holds out. It’s looking like we could have a storm. Much more fun when you can sit under the stars — not so much when you’re wet and cramped in the vehicle! Tonight’s show: Johnny Depp and Morgan Freeman. 🙂
Has to be a winner with those two guys in it, enjoy. It’s Saturday morning, about to go do our weekly shop.
Enjoy! 😉
22 does look good together.
🙂
In my world RoSy they do. Thanks for reading.
