Welcome! A few years ago, I discovered an application that artists employ in their works to bring cultural awareness to their audiences. Having discerned this semiotic theory that applies to literature, music, art, film, and the media, I have devoted the blog, "Theory of Iconic Realism" to explore this theory. The link to the publisher of my book is below. If you or your university would like a copy of this book for your library or if you would like to review it for a scholarly journal, please contact the Edwin Mellen Press at the link listed below. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Poetry Jam: Mathematical Sets

For this week's Poetry Jam, we have been asked by Evelyn to write something humorous, not to consider the impending storms, etc. However, since I've just dealt with the aftermath of Irene and Katia is spinning her way across the Atlantic as I write this, that request is a little more difficult to fill. Although what I posted below is something that may not make you burst into a belly laugh, hopefully, it will breed a smile. 
Enjoy!

Mathematical Sets
It all figures:
balanced equations
sets of added digits
occasionally subtracted
divided by common factors
multiplied by these too
percentages based on 
the configuration 
of a situated O
and its relation
to the point.

    Very very clever, I have to say

  3. Thanks, Peter! Your Math teachers didn't tell you how important those Venn diagrams would be? ; )

    You're excused, Ed. Thanks for dropping by.
