Science of Art

A poem is mathematics:
the meter, the measure.

But to read a poem
you must find
the words between
syllables,
let metric
shape meaning.


Prompt: science.

And how opportune for my laptop to flash me the blue screen of death. Perfect timing.

Other than a writing class assignment, I believe everything's backed up. Pray for me.

Peace, Linda

  3. well, then my dear, this explains why my poetry doesn't work. Science and Math are not my thang.

    Executed with the precision of a ruler and sharp words.

    I love thinking about how art & humanities and science & math overlap. Awesome poem :)
