My poem is Geometry

just a bit of fun :) captcha for this one is "fumbler" ... ;}

My Poem is Geometry

surgical lines draw

coordinating parallels on

metaphorical axis 

protracting angles

mesmerize my complex balance

of X and Y

internal compilations combust in

black and white my

pointed mind abstactions

obsolete

verbal gyrations this

body of evidence

twist and turn

 

my poem is geometry

and very hard to learn

I loved geometry becuz defining space and objects is tangible, but algebra felt so damn meaningless with x's and y's & no concrete answers! I love your creativity in picking such a relatable idea to write a poem about! I love the way your mathematical terms could apply to many possibilities thru-out life, far from the buttons of any calculator! *smile* Hope your holiday season is sizzling with joy & good eats! I also hope this is a sign you're posting new writing more lately . . . my attendance has been sketchy, but I haven't seen you posting too much for a bit & we miss you! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

thanks Margie ... you know i luv ya!

Interesting. Now you know I bring a lot of my own baggage to such a poem with my background in mathematics and physics. So when you sum this up with "and very hard to learn", this makes me wince a bit. But still when these ideas are applied to life and its goings-on, then, yeah, I get it, because in life there are often no understandable reasons for thing, although the happenings are cut-and-dry with very sharply drawn lines. So, yeah, I understand.

Best regards,

Rick

ahahaha well ... for you actual geometrics may seem natural and easy .. and one must have a strong taste to acquire such knowledge .. me youngest son is into it and is working on a Masters in some branch of it or other ;) and yes .. we are simple yet creatures creatures .. especially when it comes to relationships and the unraveling of self .. truly glad you found this one and reviewed .. your input as an astrophysicist is special my friend! thanks so much!!

Only E=Mc(where's the squsred button) can even think about equalling the elegance of this fine piece. I don't know if I should be more impressed that you explained poetry perfectly, or that I now understandment geometry.
Now I am left wondering if you should take a crack at the big ones... The meaning of life, or love's infernal atrraction 😀
I love just picking a page of your work at random E. It always blows my mind, without fail.

[Einstein Noodle]

ahahahaha ... but we all try the "big ones" don't we!?? did you see the captcha note .. "fumbler" :)))))))))i am super stoked you found this and brought me back to it Lorry .. thanks for the extra time and effort your random searching takes .. i appreciate it ... been kind of dry lately ... maybe lazy too ... time to at least attempt something i think .. luv on ya brother! stay safe! be well!

I am going through a bit of a drought myself E, but when I do get inspired I am enjoying it more.read moreI am going through a bit of a drought myself E, but when I do get inspired I am enjoying it more.
I blame netflix to be honest. "Just one more episode, then I'll write something...Well, I may as well finish the season now!... What! It's Thursday already?" 😀

[Einstein Noodle]

yep ... me too! :)

[Lyanth]

I understand it, but cannot explain it in words as you have. Job well done, being one who is awful at all things mathematically complex I agree it is a very difficult subject to learn as are some forms of writing.

[Einstein Noodle]

:))))))))) yes ... very hard to learn eh!? ... i had a bit of fun with this .. did you see my mention of the captcha?? "fumbler" ... kind of funny eh!? lots of poetry is linear ... but when math turns "meta.." it becomes quite abstract .. like lots of other poetry ... i love it all personally ... thanks for stopping by Lyanth! i will repay your kind visit right now! nice to meet you

[Lyanth]

Clever, and true. Poetry is one of the mathematics of the writing world I suppose. Pleasure to meet you as well, Einstein.

[Cassie]

Let me rewrite the last lines to suit me...My life right now is geometry and very hard to learn...
On another note, how do you write like that, put geometry inside of a poem and it ends up being so nice like this. Were you a mathematics lecturer? Well done

[Einstein Noodle]

oh i like that ... a life well ordered yet challenging eh!? ;) no....math held no sway with me until i actually did "grow up" ... now i appreciate the sciences as they push the limits of human understanding yet always come to the line of the Divine ;) love on ya sister ... so happy to have your attentions :)

"My Poem is Geometry" is a logical and creative method of representing your unique voice. A profiler or critic would surmise that you are an artist; a visual artist that is able to use a ruler to make measurements with shapes. The human anatomy is simplistic. Leonardo da Vinci was aware of this as well. Vincent Van Gogh used simplistic geometry to illustrate his abstract emotions. In contrast, Vinci used it to share realism. Art forms are categorized in three: 1. Realism 2. Impressionism 3. Abstract. We need these perspectives in order to be wholesome. Art spectrums range from the classical Roy G Biv color scheme. You manage to organize them very coherently with Writing, Lyric, and Art. Well done, old friend.

"My poem is geometry...It is very hard to learn."

Yes. Yes it is because some are not familiar with mathematics. Human brains tend to be either Left or Right dominated. I am a dominant Right Brained. However, I was able to train the Left side because I am a cynical logical individual. I started out Left Brained as a child. I am a back wards woman of development. :P

Thank you always for sharing!

as a child i enjoyed math ... but it did not take long for me to dismiss it ... until later in life when the geometry and history of things revealed their importance to me ... mostly right brained me self ... have always been that way .. but tho sides of brains differ in function they do always communicate if healthy ;) what an in depth review V25 ... i am so grateful for the time you spent to read and think and review ... its what makes us all friends doesn't it?! and again...so glad you are back!

Hehe. It is good to be back, E.

I actually hated math until I started sketching consistently at age 23. I am now 27 and will be 28 on July 31. It was not until trauma hit that I gained the Gift of Mathematics. My birth Father was a mathematics professor. My birth Mother was a low functioning creative Autistic. So I gained the Gift from both gene pools. ;) I have always been interested in all Subjects. Math I had a hard time finding meaning in it.

Then I discovered Geometry. Then it is escalated from Biology to Geometry and to Logic. After that, I learned the Basics all over again from working at a Cash Register.

I turned into what I hated as a child; a Business woman. hehe I now manage my Band Scissor Kats and Scissorkatrecords my Art page. I learned that the Right and Left sides of the brain make pretty bebes. ;)

haha Yes. I figured I owed many my return Critiques before I share my new work. It is a hard bullet to swallow my new work because much of it is hard core Realism.

V25 ... again ... i appreciate your review and positive feedback .. i think the sciences and art are delicately balanced and feed each other with inspirations .. how about sending me a freind request so I can read your poetry ... your comments escape my being notified and i have no link to click on ... i am curious ... all the responses on my pages have been replaced with "Guest 49 years" ... an interesting phenomenon wouldn't you say? tragic loss of poets interacting on poetry ... a valuable part of the Cafe' me thinks ... please send a FR V25 ... i am unable to repay you kindnesses! :)

Sharp angles and precise words, 72 degree trapeziums in my brain, great,

[Einstein Noodle]

"By George I think you've gotit!" ;) what a treat that you found this my friend! trapeziums eh!? can you swing from them?? :)))))))))) appreciate you flipping through me pages gram! thank you so much!

Love the simple complexity of this one 'E'. Am reading Dan Brown's 'Origin' at present and love him or hate him he makes you contemplate life on earth just as this one does!

[Einstein Noodle]

thanks once again for taking time to read and review John ... i had fun writing this one ..and thanks for the Dan Brown mention .. i had not been aware of him and will be checking out his series ..i read all Dean Koontz and John Grisham they write and love the mystery thrillers .. i like the parallel you draw in your remarks ... love or hate it for sure ... i was almost middle aged before i had any appreciation for math science or history ... but all now are very much a part of my thinking ... they really are lines of life eh!? and have great art in them if one looks ... thanks again for the author ... going to look for the first of the "Origin" group ;)
E.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Read a few John Grisham myself. Love his writing. The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons are the starting point for Dan Brown. I also love Gerald Seymour for his crisp short phraseology and plain English.

[Einstein Noodle]

ok! i caught the Da Vinci series at the movies ... enjoyed them all ... we're taking one of our dogs to the Vet's today and will stop at Wally World ... they may have his stuff ...

[Stella Armour]

geometry never made any sense to me, all those angles and equations... why do i want to know what the square on the hypotenuse is equal to ?

I do like your version of geometry tho' it is more appealing :)

[Einstein Noodle]

ahahaha yep...you are certainly not alone in your mathematical position Stella Armour ;) thank you for taking time and letting me know what you think ... did you catch the captcha for this? "fumbler" ;)))))))))

ha yeah, I find that when I deep dive into an emotion the poetry of it all comes all to naturally - this is a fabulous trick I have learnt for writing the beginning of all my crappy poetry. If I even think of the work geometry my brain starts to cloud over. Jordan thinks I am hilarious as he is currently studying commerce / economics so his brain loves the deep dove in to maths - argh!!

I prefer to chase down the thought and suck 'em dry until I have what I need to learn.

Love Quirky You !!

[Einstein Noodle]

ahahaha yes ...its all about left and right braineology eh!? your too funny my friend ... you cloud over huh? ... i am very glad you don't dwell there and instead offer all your "crappy" poetry for all to read ... i tell you i am never dissatisfied reading your "stuff" ... its always inspiring and challenging to me inner bits ;) love on ya girl!

[Kelly Scheppers]

I was pretty good at Math until they started putting letters in it. And Algebra was simply a pain in my lower extremity! It sure is a most fascinating tool to converse with, though! ; )

[Einstein Noodle]

ahahaha i was a terrible student of all math and science and history as well ... i stopped going to my senior science class and did none of the homework in math ... I already had the credits i needed to graduate and was only going to school for half a day ... such an idiot ;) but all of it now is so relevant to life ... my how we can change eh!? thanks for taking time dahlink! its precious :)
