Jan Allison Poet Pleiades

Notes About The Poem

Mathematics Pleiades

Maths questions I detest
Minus and plus I get
Mean and median too
Multiplication sucks
Measuring I can do
Mandlebrot set’s complex
My poor brain cannot cope!

John Watt October 4, 2020 at 10:54 PM Perfectly done Pleiades, friend. Mandelbrot set? Wow! Haven't heard that in 50 years, methinks. When the teacher promised that I NEED to know that... lying! And I'm an engineer, haha! Great poem, GL John Watt October 5, 2020 at 8:24 PM lol, don't tell Joseph, but I did the same with my physics one, teehee! I took physics in high school and college but barely passed. Now I remember so very little. I love your sense of fun. Jan Allison October 5, 2020 at 2:58 PM i cheated and googled some mathematical words lol i dont think I had ever heard of it in my maths lessons lol;-) hugs jan xx

Victor Buhagiar October 4, 2020 at 1:39 PM Well done Jan. a perfect pleiade. Best for a win I'm sure. ~~ Jan Allison October 5, 2020 at 2:54 PM thanks Victor:-) hugs jan xx

Jenna Logan October 4, 2020 at 11:22 AM Your muse is skilled in the art of literature, and thumbs her nose at math. hmmm... can one 'thumb' a nose? Your 7 lines of six syllables each equals 42 in total...I think. Silliness aside, it's a good pleiades, Jan. Jan Allison October 4, 2020 at 11:45 AM Aww thanks Jenna, amazing to think i didn't like poetry at school now I love it,... but as for maths - never will i like the subject but i know enough to be able to count syllables lol:-) hugs Jan xx

Rico Leffanta October 4, 2020 at 10:26 AM But finding 10% of anything is something every child can do .....but math skills seem to deteriorate rapidly among the elderly who frequently hold out an hand of change knowing it is money, but not its worth! Aloha! Rico Jan Allison October 4, 2020 at 11:44 AM I have never been mathematically minded but son is amazing at the subject:-) hugs jan xx
