Nature Knows Its Math

BY JOAN GRAHAM

Divide
the year
into seasons,
four,
subtract
the snow then
add
some more
green,
a bud,
a breeze,
a whispering
behind
the trees,
and here
beneath the
rain-scrubbed
sky
orange poppies
multiply.

~I like how the author compares nature, which is usually portrayed as something natural and not calculated, to math. Which is something that isn’t calculated and is natural and I like how the author compares natural and seasons to math.
