Exploring Math-Attitudes with Verse

     Exploring the internet, looking for mathy poems, I came across the website Poemverse -- and I entered the search term math and was led to an exciting list of possibilities -- and plentiful outcomes also occurred when I searched using other mathy terms -- algebra, geometry, etc...   I  also found a collection of "Poetry for the Math Haters" -- at this link.  Below I offer two verses found there -- alas, without information about the contributing poets. 

     Finding Humor in Math Hating

          Mathematical Mischief       by Jessica Rose

               Oh, math, your tricks and riddles,
               Leave my brain tangled and in a fiddle,
               But in this battle of numbers and wit,
               I'll find humor, and never submit.

          Mathematical Laughter      by David Scott

               Math, my eternal nemesis, it seems,
               Yet I'll laugh at your complex schemes,
               For in this world of calculations and strife,
               A little humor is the elixir of life.

AND, here is a link to some YouTube math songs!

Exploring Angles Through Poetry

      As I have previously mentioned, recently I have discovered mathy poems at the website poemverse.org, and I enjoy exploring there.  One of my findings has been a collection of poems about geometry -- and I offer a sample below.

More Poems about Angles may be found here.

Another poemverse collection is Poems about math class -- at this link.
