Abstract

Chapter 3 of the book "Discovering Patterns in Mathematics and Poetry" is presented. This chapter explains shape patterns such as spirals, labyrinths, and symmetrical and abstract shapes. It proposes that mathematical shapes can influence designs that are mentally and visually formed in poetry. It demonstrates how scientific theory can serve as a poetic metaphor derived from visual elements of symmetry and asymmetry.
