This zero is very mystical and very powerful in mathematical calculations. This is definitely point of origin. This carries wisdom of entire universe. Amazing humor this carries. Brilliantly penned poem is shared here is interesting.10

Thank you so much, Kumarmani. I remember writing and revising this poem....and thinking zero can mean anything from nothing....to everything.

Very profound and sad because that's exactly where it is for many that are barely there. A resounding 10 and straight to my favorites.

after ages of experience, a man of wisdom at last reaches the destination to find out that now he wisely approaches from where he had started the journey. this is not a short poem, it is a long long story, generation after generation and never ending. yes you magically caged it in two little lines.

Thank you so much, Muhammad. And that is a brilliant way of looking at this.....this is a journey, a long and involved one. It is a journey every generation seems bound to make.

Excellent! You are a walking poet kaleidoscope. Really. Jostle you and you arrange brilliant words into brilliant new configurations! And it seems so effortless- -the height of compliments. You write in free verse, you write senryu, you write tercet... oh, oh, oh, I told you I was going to try that form and I did! You make me challenge myself and that is a good thing to do for your friends, M.J. Kaleidoscope. 10+++++++++++++++++++++

Thank you so very much, Susan. I'm still stuck on my Who Am I Poem? I just hope it's going to seem effortless when I find myself satisfied with it. I'm about to check out your tercet. And thanks so much for the 10.

Centuries Past Discovering Possibility Ghost Numbers it was an astounding concept not unlike converting vast desert wastes into fields farmland prized we have the opportunity of descending into ghost numbers the ancient invented negative numbers below dead end zero previously nothing counted apparently opened up entire new fields of mathematics we might in time develop a string theory personality slip into an alternative less problematic universe or write multistyle seismic poems so many poems I have layers noticed start with zero letters and words on the page Copyright © Terence George Craddock Inspired by the poem 'Zero' by the poet M.J. Lemon. Dedicated to the poet M.J. Lemon.

Thanks, Terry. When the net worth and self esteem collide at zero, that might just give an opportunity for a new origin.

We have the opportunity of descending into ghost numbers, the ancient invented negative numbers below zero, apparently opened up entire new fields of mathematics, I might develop a string theory personality and slip into an alternative universe or write multistyle poems; so many poems I have noticed start with zero letters and words on the page. :)

Thank you, Valsa. I actually came to the idea of this piece by asking- is there so little that can be said about very little? Thanks again.
