Hosts Meg Genge and Laini Taylor provide weekly prompts.

My response to "Ocean" from a Sunday Scribblings prompt in May 2007 resulted in my poem "Algebraic Sestina for the Ocean" being published in the March 2008 issue of STEM Newsletter (The Wolfson Centre for Stem Cells, Tissue Engineering and Modelling, University of Nottingham, UK) as part of Anna Lovrics' article, "What is the connection between poetry and maths?"

My original blog entry with the poem is at

Lovrics' article reports on the 49th British Applied Mathematics Colloquium, where she first learned about the sestina form in a Dynamical Systems session. I think it's way cool that a math colloquium that included applications in biology and engineering also included poetry -- and a musical performance as well. And I was thrilled she used my poem as an example.
