After making the textual design with the sailing ship in it, I got an idea for a mathemaku featuring the ship’s entrance into the world it’s shown in as a partial metaphor for faereality. I worked out a full sketch of the poem but haven’t converted that to an actual poem yet. Now I’m fumbling with another faereality long division in which the following is a partial metaphor for faereality:
When I got this second idea, I immediately went megalomaniac, as I so often do, with thoughts of a Major Triumph. In this case it would be a sequence of faereality long divisions in which faereality would symbolize the wonders of the worlds imaginative children live in. My third frame of the sequence needs just a remainder; I should say, my sketch of my third frame just needs that. I have no other ideas for the sequence, though. I hope I get some–a dream that if I got at least ten, the result would be Very Accessible–and appealing to the many with my nostalgia for childhood.
Note: if you’re stumped by the extract from my poem-in-progress above, decode the following to understand it: ju jt ”cpzippe”–dpejoh jut xbz joup gbfsfbmjuz. Hmmm, I just thought of a better spelling. I’ll save that for tomorrow when, again, I’ll no doubt be having trouble thinking of something to put here.
