Notes About The Poem

This poem was originally written for Haiku Shak in response to the above weekly pictorial prompt. This is my original poem. 

SILKEN CALCULUS

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
dawn’s breath etched equations across abandoned geometry~ a jeweled net hung where night’s eight-legged architect froze mid-thought. each strand a silver integral solving for cold.

Wow! Great writing! Math by itself, means nothing. 2+2 means nothing...unless two oranges, etc.. True time and space, are the Geometry of God. Another FAV!

What amazing imagery, Sara! This is wonderfully composed and so artfully crafted with fresh word choices that create one amazing overall picture. Love the "jeweled net," and the "eight-legged architect." Hugs and blessings!
