A Mathematical Rhapsody

A Mathematical Rhapsody

A Poem by Raj Sahu
"

This poem shows the sentiments of a mathematician towards his lover in mathematical form.

"


I doubt; Can I live long rather?
As we both are parallel lines, which do not meet each other.

To understand you is a task very hard;
Before that, the problems of Mensuration I will regard.

Expressions of your face frequently deviates,
That the comprehension of sine and cosine alleviates.

Our only meeting of love made me disappoint.
It was like a tangent that meets a circle only at one point.

I promised you there that all your expenses I will afford.
As I am the diameter of my family circle, which is the longest chord.

My love towards you will truly suit.
It is a quadratic equation of real root.

In your friend circle, I was too your friend.
But I was like an Arithmetic Progression's term of the end.

Your deception make me full of sorrow,
My life becomes as a cylinder hollow.

In your love, I myself dangle.
I act as an unknown value of an angle.

In your life, I am one of the obstruction.
It seems to me that I am an endless construction.

“In your love, I myself dangle.
I act as an unknown value of an angle.

In your life, I am one of the obstruction.
It seems to me that I am an endless construction."

I should really applaud this work of you for both of its parameters- unique and humorous. I am really startled how one can knit a poem, a poem of love, through the central theme- Mathematics. It is really an amazing work. Somewhere I find rhymes a little odd, but it's effect outshone by this amazing love comedy. Thank you for sharing.

Well...I don't know how I should feel about this one. Honored I guess. Coincidence? Good job regardless...

Oh that's surprising...You're welcome.
This is a fun piece! There's a longtime poet on this website who often uses literary terms embedded into his messages like this, as metaphors. Many writers write about literary terms, but I've never seen one using math terms! However I have to point out that all your various points are related to GEOMETRY . . . which is not really "math" . . . so maybe you should change your title to GEOMETRIC RHAPSODY (which is a cleverly-crafted phrase, by the way).

In a few places it feels like you are reaching for a rhyme & it doesn't contribute to the meaning as strongly as it could. I think it's more important to focus on the word play you're doing here . . . it's pretty hard to combine complex words AND rhyming. I like to rhyme complex words, but I've done this hundreds of times, so it's easier for me. For a newer poet, I think it can be helpful to focus on one or the other (using fancy words OR rhyming, but not both). Not that there are changes needed here, but just an overall observation to keep in mind for future writing.

But mostly this is just clever & creative, so important to try to come up with new ideas becuz there are so many poets writing about the regular stuff like love & heartbreak. This is the way to make a name for yourself, when you come up with memorable ideas like this!
