Best Geometry Poems
CITY GEOMETRY
I’m on big town
Inserted
Yea, transplanted
Within its swaying wave
Of box and angle
Where my self-identity
Is something throbbing
Upward gazing
Arrowing
To sky points
So, it’s confusing
The hate-love factor
Stiffness
Restriction
Formal sharpness of angle
A quite eye bewildering sight
This swirling circumference
Of a giant
Fractured
Circle
And oh!
The Stravinskyish
Jagged continuity
Of line
Of dissonance
For distance
I follow parallels
Lines receding
With absolute straightness
There a promise of
Those cherished
Fading meadows
Of nature’s roundness
Her natural sweetness
Suddenly!
I take a ninety-degree angle of turn
With mandatory city goose step
Toward sanity
Toward home

Our King is rectangle
And yet I still dangle,
While my hubby plays dead
Far and wide on our bed.
And the blanky, alright,
I lose touch with at night.
My hubby by my side
On the bed, far and wide.
It’s neither fair nor square -
Love triangle we share:
Asymmetrically,
Geometrically.
Since my hubby, all spread
Far and wide on our bed,
I moved in with chagrin
To the bedroom with Twin.
Now I sprawl and I spread
On my bountiful bed!
Slumbering, far and wide,
Taking turns on each side!
Twin’s not much of a prize,
It’s not all about size!
It could be even worse -
Could be Single of course!

After years of fighting for the covers
You'd think by now we'd be estranged lovers
But when we do the math
We end feelings of wrath
A compromise in time one discovers
Geometry explores shape ~ position
A shared bed often requires permission
Do you share equal space
Do you sleep face to face
Does doing math require a partition
It's not a good night when there's bed warring
Being poked with elbows can leave scarring
Just say, "Good night my sweet"
Then, he might warm your feet
Sleep is more tranquil when there's no sparring
Problem snoring is not easily solved
It's said that from apes, humans have evolved
When it comes to bed wars...
Which gender came from Mars
Math won't help a marriage being dissolved
When seeking the root of an equation
You must search for an equalization
A smile, wink or a nudge
Can make the numbers budge
Let's label the term, 'friendly persuasion'
"Just stay on your side. I won't be confined"
Geometry codes are not ties that bind
Don't count on theory
Cuddle with your dearie
You'll both benefit when you are aligned
You can't blend geometry and romance
The marriage bed will never stand a chance
If you want to aspire
to spark flames of desire
A shared bed is cold after a war dance
If when in bed, harsh words are full of wrath
Stop the quarrel by taking a new path
Geometry won't work
You will get called a jerk
If you are a bed hog... you do the math
Two lines intersect
an inherently
unstable situation.
Parallel lines
are better
each proceeding
separately in
the same direction
balanced by forces
of attraction/repulsion.
But if these change
the lines diverge
or intersect (see above).
Sometimes two
intersecting lines
may align
with a third
forming a
triangle.
Which is stable
but generally
disapproved of.
Very occasionally
two lines may meet
end to end
and curve
to form
a circle
which is
One.
Basic geometry’s based on four axioms,
Something that many kids study in school,
But a fifth axiom’s needed to prove it all,
This is where things start in getting real cool.
Really this axiom sounds very theorem like
Many have tried just to prove that it’s so
Math is not science though, stunningly math’s pure thought,
No underpinnings suggest where to go.
Science is tied to the world where we find ourselves
Math seems to find itself on other planes
Yet in creation math finds applications new
Funny how much mathematics explains
Love’s exegesis resists like fifth axiom
Should be much simpler, still it just is
Minds get all blurry when sniffing its trail bizarre
Alternates pop up like girls in show biz.
So if you find yourself stewing in limbo’s pot,
Give her a slide rule for Christmas this year,
Sure to last longer than roses or candy will
Then on Christ’s Birthday buy pizza and beer.
Good which we give ourselves to seems to multiply
Friendship, geometry, love fares the same
Love’s future story line ties us to God’s heart strings
God’s mathematics! Erased is all blame.

Circle
I mean
One circle
Encircling you and me
And some other bigger and smaller circles
Let us draw some quadrilaterals of different sizes
Place those quads in and out side of the circles
Now you can see
The house
We live
In
Here
Right here
You are just a Carrom man
Strikers are busy with you
Playing the game of "Strike and pocket"
Let us draw some parallel lines
Which will never converge or diverge
You won't be able to encompass those lines
Those are drawing a new picture
Picture of a relationship
Name it -
Friendship
Carrom Man : disk of Carrom
Drawing lines between shapes of grief
Going in circles, awaiting the lietmotif
Now just a side of a triangular run.
With defences up like the Pentagon.
Then finally looking Love square in the face
While Hope's line slopes down in disgrace
Calculating a Geometry too disjoint
For Love to have a basic point.
Parallel.
They said if our worlds ever existed,
It would be in parallel.
But when you gave me that sideways glance
I turned my chair perpendicular to avoid the trance
You cast on me.
And with as upside-down as my life is now,
My rubix-cube thoughts couldn't see how
This was meant to be.
Forgive my criss-crossed crooked gaze your way
But my tangle-angle heart wants you to stay.
And now I begin to see........
Like two dusty snowball spheres, our worlds collide,
And spatter beautiful flakes of brokenness
On this universe of We.
And now I begin to see,
Our worlds are meant to be
Everything....but
Parallel.
life is geometry
minus all the postulates
and all the theorems....
defying nature
lines broken into corners
and jammed into space

Geometrical,
Math'matical poetry.
Hmm…Lobachevsky?
Geometrics &
Math'matics & Poetics
Think Lobachevsky.
Well. How 'bout Riemann?
Zeta function says it all.
How's that, professor?
I have fun with the world of geometry
The square, the rectangle and the parallelogram
Oh' the trapezoid and the rhombus
The triangles, the isosceles and the equilateral
All are a great tight family together
The circles and ellipses are closely related
The formulas of geometry try to memorize
The areas and circumferences
The diagonals and angles
For the trigonometric functions
You discover a new world
The sines and cosines
The tangents and arc tangents
If all this is not enough to entice you
Most probably now you fell in love with geometry
I have fun with the world of geometry
The square, the rectangle and the parallelogram
Oh' the trapezoid and the rhombus
The triangles, the isosceles and the equilateral
All are a great happy family together
The circles and ellipses are closely related
The formulas of geometry try to memorize
The areas and circumferences
The diagonals and angles
Learn the trigonometric functions
You discover a new world
The sines and cosines
The tangents and arc tangents
If all this is not enough to entice you
Hopefully and much soon you probably
will fall in love with world of geometry
The willow stands bifurcate ramifying and tall
The bees protect amber hued honey which is hive’s soul
Looks peaceful and plain but there is something inspiring awe
Something behind the hemp among hills that roll
The great fields green and gold
The sun in the valley its visage is about to unfold
Beneath the rich foliage stands pyramid huge and tens of thousands years old
It is truly glorious wonder to behold
Ancient cultures by building pyramid to death would respond
They believed the pyramid to be gateway to world beyond
But I believe that we can use soul’s pyramid to open the door that magnified cells has spawned
Physical God’s dream powered in spiritual dream finding essence that can excel soul and beyond
You, Man … Are The Angles
To My Curves
Hard and Sharp Corners
To My Circular-Swerves
You Are Exact
To My Abstract
You Are Algebra
To My Pre-School Math
You Are Calculus
To My Abacus
You Are The Chemical
To My Stimulus
You Are The Extra
To My Average
You Are The Multiply
To My Nothing Added
You Are Autonomy
To My Anatomy
You Are The Fractal
In My Infinity
You Are Geometry To Me:
You Are Steep Mountains
To My Mounds and Valley
You Are Raindrops In The Forest
To My Snow-Ballet
You Are Hot Desert Sands
To My Cold Ocean Waves
You Are The Mirage man
To My Love-Slave
You Are Dimension-Diamonds
To My Parallel-Pearls
You Are The Universe
To My World
You Are The Prism
To My Beam Of Light
and You Are The Days
Resting Upon My Nights …
And You Are Geometry To Me …
Geometry (?e?µet??a; geo = earth, metria = measure)
is a part of mathematics concerned with questions of size, shape,
and relative position of figures and with properties of space.
(uncountable) The branch of mathematics dealing with spatial relationships;
(countable) A type of geometry with particular properties;
Geometry is one of the oldest sciences. ...
