I have a poem upcoming in the News and Observer&#8217;s Sunday Journal. Not sure which Sunday as I write this. I can&#8217;t put the poem here since it needs to appear in the Sunday Journal first, but I can give you the 99 words of the introduction to the poem:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nI heard a voice in the night saying <em>&#8220;Joy is here&#8221;<\/em> then after a pause <em>&#8220;It might be insincere.&#8221;<\/em> I noticed that the lines created a perfect triplet of three lines of three syllables with rhyme. Of course they should occur three times in a poem. But the poem&#8217;s length? The most magical number would be ninety nine; the sum of the sums of divisors of the first eleven integers. Incidental to this mathematical epiphany, I suddenly recalled <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/William_Wordsworth\">William Wordsworth<\/a>&#8216;s wonderful poem <a href=\"http:\/\/rpo.library.utoronto.ca\/poem\/2373.html\">&#8220;The Tables Turned.&#8221;<\/a> The birds sang as the sun rose. I wrote this poem. Hope you enjoy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ll be off the net all day today (Wednesday), but I do have unrelated news.
