The geometry of space expands with the rain-
seems counter-intuitive
but true, none the less.
This is the theorem to consider:
heavy pewter clouds curve across the sky’s canvas,
reflecting into the hammered silver of the lake’s topology;
a planed landscape
sparkles with crystal spherical raindrops;
the equation of the breeze, soft as birds wings,
scented with cedar and sweet peas;
a wren singing her fractal song
of seasons green and watery,
extending a line to the horizon;
angled proof of lightning
in the symmetry of thunderstorms.
Perfect.

I like ‘hammered silver ‘. Jane
this is so beautiful/luv to hear rain fall/watch lightning light up the sky/words n this today almost made me crt/luv ur site n share with all my friends to enjoy as much as I do
This is a very cool idea – the application of math to nature….I especially love “the lake’s topology a planed landscape”. Nothing like watching the weather changes on a body of water. Sigh.
I love how you have weaved the term of mathematics into the nature’s imagery.. but it’s truly so that the word expands in some way, but still shrinks.. there are truly dimensional aspects to this…
truly amazing that we should both #independently write poems about “rain” and “mathematics.” (mine is “Prayer for Rain”). truth is, i think i like yours better.
That is funny – we both have rain and math on the brain this morning! Its that old ‘great creative universe’ at work. 🙂
