Casting Nines

--Fan Poem-- I was casting nines; I cast out you; So I'll cast out seven; And then me two --(That last bit is intentional)

If I was casting nines

And I cast out you

I’d cast out seven

And then me two

 

If we were a triangle

You’d be Leg B

I’d be Leg A

So the hypotenuse is you and me

 

If I was X

And you were Y

Then our love would be

x(y)² = ∏

 

You’re my common denominator

My other digit and radius

The 1^o who makes 360^o

Dividing by zero would destroy us

 

x(y)² / 0 = ………

 

But since you’ve been gone

Since you left me

Our right triangle

Became my isosceles

 

I was casting nines

I cast out you

So I’ll cast out seven

And then me two.

Author's Note

The point of casting nines in math is to get rid of all the numbers that add up to nine in a problem. So the "And then me two" part is intentional.

This is a fan poem for a FictionPress story, The Blue Rose by CaveDwellers. FP doesn't support most of those math characters, so I put it up here instead. ^^

I LIKE THE FLOW AND RHYTHM OF THIS VERSE...AND THE CREATIVE DESIGN USING MATH IN A CLEVER WAY TO PUT THIS INTO WORDS...SEEMS LIKE A LYRICAL VERSE BY THE WAY IT COMES OUT AS ONE READS THE LINES OF THIS ONE...
