PoetryWell, actually, probably not. In creative arts only about 10% of what's produced at any given time is actually halfway decent. Sorry, it's the cold hard truth. However, in the spirit of literary open-mindedness, we'll feature some of the best of science/nerd-related poetry. Unfortunately, we were unable to get permission from all of the authors featured here. If you are surprised to see something that you wrote then go do a little secret ego-boost jig and contact us if you don't want it up here. Carbon Most beautiful of elements. Such infinite variety, Chains, rings, branches, buckyballs, side groups, aromatics. Your index of refraction kills shahs and speculators Carbon. You who were with us in the streets of Saigon, You were everywhere, floating in the air Invisible in the fear and sweat, The napalm. Without you we are nothing. Carbon we were and carbon we shall become. - From Mount Dragon Haiku ++ Haiku double-plus: The object-oriented Poetic format. - From Nerdly Jaikus Screensaver My screensaver runs -- Multicolored lines cascade No unused cycles! - From Nerdly Jaikus ST: The Next Haiku Precious green liquid Pooling upon alien soil. Bones says, "He's dead, Jim." - From Nerdly Jaikus Sleep Deprivation The program compiles, I compose email to friends, All is well tonight. - From Nerdly Jaikus Fermat's Last Theorum When Fermat Vapours clog our loaded Brows, With furrow'd frowns, when stupid downcast Eyes Th'external Symptoms of some Gap within Our Proof express, or when in sullen Dumps With Head Incumbent on Expanded Palm, Moping we sit, our Gaulloise snuffed, deform'd, Sing then, Oh Wiles, and Taylor, Wiles! Oh trio: put Fermata to our Toils. - Barry Mazur, from Fermat's Last Theorum Poetry Challenge Rational, modular cohomologically Wiles and Taylor prove they both are the same. Modular, rational nonarchimedian methods now justify Fermat's old claim. - Anonymous, from Fermat's Last Theorum Poetry Challenge The time has come, Fermat opined, to talk of many things, of GL_2 and flat group schemes, and local Hecke rings, and which ideals are Eisenstein, and Wiles's wild flings. - Anonymous, from Fermat's Last Theorum Poetry Challenge We study the proof of Fermat. Take Shimura-Taniyama And the Frey elliptic curve. Between them there is a tie As suggested by Gerhard Frey. Along came Jean-Pierre Serre Who formulated with great care The episilon conjecture Which as a tie would serve. And yes the conjecture did fit As demonstrated by Ribet. Then it remained to consider Representations modular. Seven years later, Came the announcement of Wiles. But that was not the ending, We needed the Taylor mending. Now at last we all have smiles. - Sharon Ann Kineke , from Fermat's Last Theorum Poetry Challenge |
