Position:Home>Poetry> Someone requested my poetic input and then deleted their question?


Question:Well, I put 7 minutes of solid effort into composing this beauty and I'll be damned if it's not heard!

(The particular subjects surrounding the poem were supposed to be SPRING and MATH.)


The rains fall as the seedlings take root,
And before you know it they exponentially shoot
Out of the soil- 1, 2, 4, 16...
Wonder how many a whole week will bring?

Well, if you wanna know, I'll teach you how it's done-
Find the population of daisies under the sun.
Multiply the principle by the constant 'e'
Raised to the power of 'r' times 't'.

If you have 16 daisies in your lawn at first
And at a 25% rate new buds take thirst,
Then lo' 'n' behold! Ever thought you'd knew?
The total number of daisies= 92!

-swoosh


Isn't it a shame they missed reading my work?

You did a fabulous job for 7 minutes worth of writing and you handled the math beautifully as well. Bravo...Swoosh.

Lol, yes they missed out. Maybe you would like to share some of your comments on my question which still has no answers.

Nicely propagated. Addition by division...only in the garden...TD

I don't know what question you answered, but I'm glad you made a second effort -- that poem is definitely a function.

I always have felt that you are someone who counts.

It happens, consider the source. At least you managed to retrieve it!

Clever!
