I like your poem because I like numbers. If you like science you must like mathematics. Good luck in the contest. The trend of colors enlightened your poem, too.

Thanks for your review. I deal with numbers because I have to. Give me words any day.

Ciao mystery poet.

You have 6 votes now!

I enjoyed the unusual theme .. I had a crush for my math teacher as a teen so I did my best to shine in his subjects : maths and biology.

I was better in the latter, though ( history was my all time subject)

For many Maths was a hurdle hence they don't have pleasant memories studying it.

You did an excellent job in listing the woes it produces for students.

Great rhyme too.

I had to smile at your review. Best way to enjoy a subject is to have the hots for the teacher!!

This poem could have been written just for me! I hate anything to do with math because I'm terrible with it. It the only class I ever flunked in school. It wasn't until I was an adult that I discovered I had a learning disability in Math. Good luck in the contest.

Very clever and definitely original. Your presentation is great. Your acrostic flows well and makes sense. The rhyme is smooth and unforced. Best wishes for your entry in the contest.

I'm an old retired math teacher who enjoyed this poem very much. My specialty was geometry, so I was a little disappointed that I didn't see that mentioned.

This is my life! Math makes no sense to me after the 4 basic functions! How I made through algebra, geometry and only one semester of Trig with decent grades in high school is a mystery to me! And don't even ask me one of those questions where two trains leave a station and one stops at a carnival and the other can only go twenty miles an hour. I really don't care which gets there first lol! Good luck in the contest!

This is very entertaining. My relationship to mathematics sounds similar to yours - it leaves my mind sore and abused as well.
Your first letters appear as black. You might want to change them to white so they stand out.

This will definitely strike a chord with those who find math as the most challenging of subjects! Great title! Loved the tweaks of rhyming within the poem and I think you did a great job in describing math's frustrations! Well done and wishing you much luck in the contest!
