Emmons said:"Cubist poet Pierre Reverdy defined poetry as “cristaux déposés après l'effervescent contact de l'esprit avec la réalité.” I like to riff on this definition and define math poetry as “crystals deposited after the effervescent contact of the spirit with mathematics.” To me, an idealized math poem perfectly captures the kernel of some mathematical topic. The completed poem is crystalline, perfect, dead"
I would put these in the catagory of mathematical visual poetry.
