Three square is nine
this line now rhymes
four by itself is sixteen
adolescent, by many pristine
the two together is 25
is that still a surprise?

Now the 25 boils down to five squared
and that lot inhabits a space at par
with the sum of 3 to the power of 2
and 4 to that power too.
is that still a surprise
ages after men in togas surmised?
the relationship of squares
about famous angles...
how a 30, 60, 90 degree triangle,
untangles..
is still a surprise.

Martin,
a very precise poem, but I don't get your angle

(giggles in delight) Oh Martin, this is a wonderful mathematical poem, sweet friend, I am not a good math student but I am fascinated with the Fibonaachi number very much and how it applies to so much in life such as flowers petals and pinecone spikes! (big hugggssssss) This is excellent, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martin, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
