    Poetry Thursday #5

    Today's assignment--a poem with math terms. Plane geometry in my sophomore year in high school was the only math class I ever liked. So here's the poem.

    In geometry class

    You're the only one I ever loved.
    Degenerate and full of sin--
    your height, your legs
    and references to horizontal.
    I so me try.

    It wasn't meant to be.
    I was too square and plane--
    just a double cone
    melting under Golden spiral rays.
    I some try.

    You were one dimensional,
    between radical and mean,
    with just the line
    to touch my obtuse midpoint--
    Is o me try.

    Before I go on a tangent--
    Upon reflection
    I no longer flip over your
    face or cute little axis.
    You are zero to me now.
