Humble Tribute
Created | Updated Jul 6, 2006
I am.
a scientist OR poet
The
most remarkable formula
in math
immiscible with poetry
when raised to my eye, Pi(-ku)
left me feeling less than one.
My reaction to reading the Pi-ku entry by icecoldalex, in which I delighted at first with just the reading, but then moreso with the gradual realization that there was an order behind the words.
That there was a pattern, and it wasn't just a random set, but in fact, was carefully crafted in compliance with mathematics.
Quite a wonderful journey it sent me on, discovering the reasons behind the word choices. That science and art could be mixed. Concrete with abstract. I found myself humbled.
I haven't been quite as crafty, perhaps, focusing on the change of my mindset, rather then on my structure set, but there's enough there to interest some people, I would hope.
