The American Mathematical Society (AMS) is again sponsoring a Math-Poetry Contest for students -- inviting submission of poems up to 20 lines in length in three admission categories:
Middle School High School College
Information about how to submit entries -- along with wonderful results from past contests -- is available at this link.
The following poem (which is found online here -- along with other winners) by Nora McKinstry (Edmonds Heights K-12 S) was the Middle School winner in 2025.
forever by Nora McKinstry a mobius strip is a never ending loop a
a forever-going cycle of one small strip
but still it goes on and on
impossible to stop but easily created
just one strip
with one turn
is all that is needed
a strange thought
one move makes all the difference
as you watch it twirl
see it repeat
see it dance
Contest Entry information is available here.
