Four is my favourite number. I was born on the fourth, I count in fours, and when deciding how many of something to eat, I generally settle for four.
Poetry, for me at least, is as much about the challenge as the expression. One day I had this idea that I would write four poems, each with four stanzas, consisting of four lines each, with only four words per line.
That’s 4x4x4x4. 256 words.
To make it extra challenging, I vowed not to repeat a single word. I named it The Law of Four Challenge.
Using these guidelines I penned The Motions of Emotion, where each poem reflects the feeling I had at the time of writing it.
Enjoy reading The Motions of Emotion
Incidentally, if you’re a poet, why don’t you challenge yourself to write a Law of Four poem?

I was also born on the fourth, of June. I’ve never been focused with number 4, but it is a nice round number, although it reminds me of a square, too.
