Ciao poet..you now have 4 votes !
A beautiful eye catching piece of artwork to introduce your poem ..
reminds me of a Kaleidoscope and its dazzling effect ..I'm not sure but I think you need prisms to get that effect ..
A great play of words and double meanings ( angle, tangent).
A poem that stands out for its original subject ..you make maths sound interesting.
When I was 13 I had a crush for my maths teacher( he taught biology too) ..
To make a good impression I studied his subjects and did well ..
Shame when I changed boarding school both subjects didn't seem so interesting anymore .. ( biggrin)
(History has always been my favourite subject)
This entry merits more than just my vote ..

Tempeste,
You really liked this! Thanks for your vote of confidence with your six star! We all had teachers that inspired us. Sadly, more often than not, they are underpaid and not held in high esteem by certain government officials and some members of our society.
Comment from thaities, Rebecca V.
This is a great entry for the short 5-7-5 writing prompt. It should do well in the contest. I wish you the best of good luck!

Rebecca,
Thanks for your vote of confidence. My math-like poem actually finished tied for third. My typical writing style is 5-7-5. Longer verses are not in my poetry wheelhouse (and honestly I rarely review or rate the same, but do read them, especially if I am a fan of the poet). So THANK YOU for stopping by to read my post.
Mark

You're welcome. I enjoy your writings.

Thanks Rebecca. The big Chief poem earned a tie for third place. 5-7-5 is my main writing genre.

Yea!!! Great news. I enjoyed that poem.

I am left with a image of colors in my mind. Brilat and vibrate colors that span out. This could be used to help teach the science behind something amazing.

Mia,
FanArt did provide us with that exquisite image of the rainbow of colors seen through a prism. Thanks for your review and stars. Science is at our door.

Geometry memories augmenting poetry. "Be still be fluttering heart"- "(Words spoken from a former mathematics teacher.)
Enjoyed the read.
Best of luck with the 5-7-5 poem contest.

RS,
In my freshman HS year, we also learned to use a slide rule. I completed 4 yrs of math in two; the last 2 years we used Thomas for our Calculus course book. I earned a year's college credit. After my first year in college, math and science went down the tubes for me as I simultaneously exited the engineering curriculum. BTW I still occasionally use that slide rule, but now our handheld phones can do it at any location LOL
Thanks for your good wishes in this contest.

Hello, anonymous,
A wonderful poem entry for the 5-7-5 writing prompt contest. Good syllable count and okay connection between lines...which improves flow. The presentation is nice.
The topic is not relatable....with geometry.
Good luck in the contest.

Pleased you enjoyed my idea with your stars.

LoL you're right.
Comment from ESOSTINE
Yea, I could remember my basic trigonometry. It was an experience to me as I dazzled my peers with my understanding of mathematics and especially trigonometry. That was many years ago. Thanks for taking me through memory lane.

Surely, you can still dazzle some of your friends with your mathematical prowess. Maybe you also used a slide rule!?! I learned how-to in 9th grade. Memories do last for a lifetime (-;
5-7-5 is my main poetry style - contest or not. Longer verses are not in my poetry wheelhouse.

Best of luck with your 5-7-5 prompt entry. The artwork is pretty intense and set the stag for the content of your poem. The angles of the light remind how our minds also see things differently from different angles. Best regards.

Kermit,
I like your inference how we see things differently. Often our filters are not so good. Thanks for your confidence for my prompt entry.

Thanks Dolly for your stars and review. Sometimes the filters of our lives are clouded and that magic does not occur. Hugs back to you too!
Comment from Ben B.
Well, this poem was very geometric. I remember this vocabulary from glass. Only suiting that such a scientific wonder would get a mathematical poem. Good job

Ben,
Thanks for your enthusiasm for my post and your stars. I will assume that you learned this acronym in 'class,' as you observed this phenomenon through a 'glass' prism. LOL
Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
I have never seen that acronym for those geometry concepts, Mystery Writer. I enjoyed reading your contest entry and thinking about the 'word.' Good job with the syllable count and the great picture.
Thanks for sharing and best wishes.
