Mathematical Moments In Poetry

  I have figured things out this week and find myself focusing on matters mathematical. I could have gone with a Fibonacci Poem again, but I decided to look elsewhere within the fascinating world of mathematics to find my connection.  Here are three little poems owing their existence to various mathematical inspirations. They were quietly nestling in my poetry vault, but I found them when it counted.  Go figure... Figure It Out One stands by itself Two makes a couple Three gives us a crowd Four sends us to the corners Five gives us golden rings Six can be hit out of the park Seven is heavenly Eight comes with easy pieces Nine gives a cat lives Ten likes green bottles I figure that’s enough.

Fibonacci Poems

Fibonacci poetry was founded by Gregory K. Pincus. It is a very recent invention.  Fibonacci poems comprise a 6-line format that follows the Fibonacci sequence for syllable count per line.  In mathematics, the Fibonacci numbers, commonly form a sequence, the Fibonacci sequence, in which each number is the sum of the two preceding ones. The link between poetry and mathematics reflects the patterns that emerge in both fields. How good is that? All that means is the 6-line poem looks like this: 1 syllable for first line 1 syllable for second line 2 syllables for third 3 syllables for fourth 5 syllables for fifth 8 syllables for sixth For inspiration, I had to go no further than my own garden and the adjacent reserve. Sometimes you just need to go somewhere, sit still and look around you. Fabulous Fibonacci fun... Late In The Season a day late in summer's reign conjures mild sun showing the season's advanced age.
