Daily Notes on Poetry

6 June 2004. Here are the other three mathemaku in my "Mathemaku for the Four Seasons" (not very well reproduced):


The set originally consisted of only one for Spring and one for autumn. In the latter, I divided "woods" into "autumn" and got "wind." The product of "woods" times "wind" (what I call "the subdidividend product" for want of any correct name for it that may exist) was "smmr"--autumn being a shriveled form of summer. I had a remainder of "drizzle." The revised version used "park" instead of "woods" to make my scene more social. "Chestnuts" seemed to me more autumnal than "wind," and "sxmxxr," or summer cancelled, more accurate than "smmr," or summer shriveled. Then I added the disappearing children from the previous two pieces in the set. I can explain the two new ones in detail, but won't.
