I started my mathematical poetry exploration with Fibs. I am playing around with PH4 and a couple other ideas; playing around enough that dishes are unwashed and tomorrow's lunch is yet to be made.
I'll start with two of my Fibs and edit the post should other poems come fully to life.
*Edit - added another Fib later the same night so now there's three!

| Can you figure out the inspiration for this Fib? |
*Edit - Last night after posting the Fibs, I played around with structuring a poem on Pascal's triangle:
I decided to pattern the syllables of a poem on the first 5 rows of Pascal's triangle. It was a very interesting exercise, not in the least for having to find a 6-syllable word that worked with the subject! The inspiration was the weather I saw when I looked up from playing with mathematical poetry and peered out my window! I finished the poem tonight after giving my brain some incubation time to play with words and to evacuate that earworm that was invading all my thoughts!
Here is my Pascal Poem:
Beautiful poems Sandra! The earworm one is relevant to me as Janelle posted "locomotion" video from the 180s on her blog last week and it has been braiding itself through my brain!
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading, Carol! Best wishes to rid the earworm from your brain!
DeleteSandra, I love your poems. I tried to choose a favourite, but I couldn't. They all engaged my senses (especially the last 2). I could hear those pebbles and the earworm! The way the first poem is presented is perfect. Beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Joy!
DeleteThe earworm is still with me but slowly fading.
Sandra, I am so enjoying all your poems! And I know where the Earworm poem came from (hehehe)... Now I'm hearing that Am melody again too; might have to run the video. Thank you!
