RE: Mathematics of Relationships | NaPoWriMo Day 14
Ah, I love this so much! I went through a phase a year or so back where I wrote all my poems as logic trees. This takes me back!
It's such a great way to subvert the expectations of the reader. Presenting something from the emotional, sentimental realm in terms of pure, cold numbers. The effect here is striking. I always get excited when I see poets break away into more experimental forms - this piece truly is yours and yours alone.
Thank youuu!
Oh that's interesting. You should definitely post some of the logic trees!
I like what you said about subverting the expectation of the reader through contrast, but I think also through deviating from familiar style.
I think they might be a little bit too weird for public consumption haha. Maybe when I'm feeling brave one day...
Yes, the style is definitely part of what makes this. It wouldn't look out of place nestled beside problems in a maths book, which adds a great deal to the theme you've chosen :)
