A 3-4-5 Triangle of Poetry

     A wonderful feature of the Internet is the opportunity it offers for rapid connection with ideas from people around the world — and I have found delight in mathy poems from Africa, Australia, Canada, China, India . . . and many other places.  Today’s poem comes from poet Marian Christie — who grew up in Zimbabwe and now lives in Kent, England (and has been other places in-between).  (Here is a link to previous mentions of Christie’s work in this blog.)

     Here, below, is a screenshot of a poem by Christie that she posted recently on X (Twitter(@marian_v_o) —  her poetic interpretation of the Pythagorean Theorem:
