Eight-line Poems 2

Pieces of Eight

Pieces of Eight

I have two collections
one bulging and full
with poems and connections
to the number eight
all one thousand of them
at the instigation of
Solace, our challenge gem
and inspiration.

A thousand is the max
allowed for blog format
hence my second packs
a mere three hundred
and all in honour of
our leader now abed
in hospital I whisper soft
Get well soon Solace!
