Would you mind giving a couple of examples (even if they're hastily-constructed like mine)?



Take the word Love which immense ink has been used to describe. When it is used by a Poet he/she tends to have a very specific meaning that other poets understand without need of elaboration. Poetry has been in conversation with itself for a long time that it has developed strong general abstractions. I can see that in Maths as well, but I am an outsider so I could be off.


I am a poet and I have learned some advanced math. It seems like what you mean by "love" in poetry is more standardized to the subset of people that you have friends with instead of a general term that people can use like the above poster uses modulo.


Oh cool, I don't normally meet math trained poets. Any links to your work? (I am not a poet myself, just highly involved, publishing, editing, etc).


This is a book of poetry that I have self published. It is available on Kindle unlimited or you can get a sample to your device. https://www.amazon.com/Within-all-us-Joshua-Herman-ebook/dp/...
