Occasional Poetry - 65. Numbers Transcended

Thank goodness there's no algebra required...   I freely admit to being perplexed by numbers, which is why I went into a language-based field.  lol  I have no idea about the mathematical concepts you write about, but most certainly appreciate your ability to bring life and poetry to something not typically considered poetic.  My hat's off to you, sir.  

And my hat is off to you who,  tried to make sense of these!

i see that poetry is integral to algebra

Where's Drew when you need him?

I really liked this Parker, very creative usage of math language.  I'm envious of your poetry, that was always where I struggled in creative writing classes.

Um, yeah. Very um, mathy     Seriously, lots of fun and well written, Parker.

Blame Drew for these...he was inspiration.  Yes, tres mathy, yet fun for geeks.

Thank you, Spike. Math language always gets left behind even though it can say quite a lot. It is fun to use it unusual contexts.  

I wouldn't say I had enough maths for the day, but I don't know what else to say. I haven't done my homework, so I don't mind getting a detention for that, if I am not still grounded. But someone said think out of box. So I'll try to do so. But they were well written and definitely gonna help a math student. Great job Parker. You have always give new perspective aspects in teaching,even if it is maths. Well done my friend.

I liked it. *Damn it there is a like button to say that* um... I understood most of it, which is a miracle. I am terrible at math.

The choice of words are pretty surreal by the way. My heart too danced gavottes betwixt the logistics of words.

Thanks for sharing.

I shall not give you detention, but a ruler and compass for drawing. I am happy if these at least change your perspective on mathematics from 'impossible' to 'amusing.' Thank you for bearing with me when I gabble on about numbers and maths. It is such fun to put that language into a wholly different context.

Perhaps your math teacher long ago should have been a poet. Or a musician.  Or a builder. Sometimes I think math language is surreal precisely because we keep it locked up in a special box used only for mathematics. But I am so very happy you took the trouble to understand these; my heart dances for that, too.

Well, you know my relationship with maths ...  The first stanza of Imaginary numbers fits me to a T.  What I adore though, is the wordplay, the sounds, and the sometimes surreal word pictures conjured up by your wonderful imagination. 

LOL, I will take this to school tomorrow. I think there are some people who will appreciate this like I do. Great!

I swear Parker, the only time I care about math is when you put it in poetry like this. I don't have to solve anything and barely have to grasp the concepts, but there's a spark.. 

Good stuff. :-) 

I'm with most everyone here that claims to be befuddled by math but enthralled at your ability to create poetry from it. I know that math is integral to art, and so it should be integral to poetry as well. There's meter to poetry - that's mathematical, right?
