Everyone's commenting on the 11-11-11 phenomenon. I didn't think of this when I wrote my poem, "Eleven", but since it's also Remembrance Day in Canada, I'll share the poem with you:
Eleven
players on a soccer team
stars in Joseph's second dream
odd reversible and prime
dimensions (counting space and time)
pipers piping, salt (Na)
month day hour Veterans Day
goats hair curtains ripped apart
ounce-weight of the human heart
twelve less Judas, David's men
pearls and tears from Swinburne's pen
heartbreak (on a scale of ten)
