Description
Pythagoras, for all his rightangles and hypotenuse, loved
the mathematical beauty of music.
Shall we be Pythagorean?
Between our angles and planes,
our curves and lines, the square root
of me and the infinity of you,
we’ll fall into a rhythmic pattern
that will harmonize
the world.

Music and math do reside in the same section of the brain...

Really? I did not know that. Thanks.

The conceit works well.
I wonder about "the" world. For me worlds are always indefinite. The appropriate indefinite qualifier might be "our"?
(Many worlds, one universe?)

That might be better; I'll look at it again. Thanks, Alec.

I really like the flow of this poem, especially the last stanza. Brings it all together and ties it up very beautifully.

This is rather lovely! It just begs you to read it over and over again and understand it entirely.

Is it just me, or is it quite sinister? Reminds me of a dystopian novel named We, by Yevgeny Zamayatin.
I do wish that the world could harmonize.
I like the poem.

I didn't think of it as sinister, but poems are open to interpretation...
Thanks.

Well, the poem itself isn't really sinister. It's that book, and the mathematically programmed society in which they lived that tilted my mind.
I like this poem.

Oh, I see. I haven't read that book. Sounds scary...

I think there is someone out there that when you meet a harmonic convergence occurs. That a third overtone is generated and the 5ths and 7ths of the chord appear from the aether.
That is my way of saying I enjoyed this poem....

I think you wrote your own there in response.
Glad you liked it. Thanks.
