The denominator in the first of the mathemaku is my mathemaku of 9 February, the one with "calculus" as the quotient. I put too many layers onto it, so reduced it, and worked another mathemaku around it. I like the colors. My favorite part is the stark product of the quotient and divisor. I wish I could figure out some rationale for its use other than the fact that I like the way it looks.

The word, "choose," in the second was at first "noose." It works no better except that it doesn't deflect the poem's auditor into anything depressing. I love the colors, the result of my changing my original image to its negative.

In today's mathemaku, I experimented a little with words super-imposed on words, which I think has a lot of possibilities. An accident I especially like is the circle in the upper right quadrant. The fineness of the line outlining it in this context appealed to me. So I repeated it larger in the lower left. I did more than usual infraverbally. The red r in "poetry" came about when I saw the original r didn't look right and re-did it forgetting to change the color I was using to the color of the rest of the word. I liked the result, so left. Again, this should be something exploitable, but I don't yet know how.
