I'd love to have one poem show up on the home page, in some rotation. Does anyone know of a way to make that happen?
It took me until today to respond to my own challenge. Here's what I came up with:
The Pleasure of Struggling
I can’t get this.
It doesn’t make sense.
What are they talking about?
I will never get this.
It’s crazy.
Wait…
Hmm…
Ah!
If I put this with this…
No…
Hmm…
Oh my!
Look at that!
How cool!
May I have another, please?
On re-reading this, I see it doesn't have to be about math. But it is. ;^)

I added a new page to the math poetry wiki today. JoAnne Growney has published a book of her poems called My Dance Is Mathematics and helped edit a book of math poems called Strange Attractors. Check it out.
