The theme reminded me of sacred geometry, but a poetics for poems. As such, a study in forms--tercets (stacked or stepped), repetition in counts of three (same/variation) show that the triangle/#3 is in poems as well. I love that the last poem in this set is on the image of three in nature--Iris flower petals. The Kinder Art Museum in Houston has a permanent collection on sacred geometry in the visual arts.

Solt--I loved learning the symbol for Hermes. & also I love that the visual poem is pinned with "the origin of all signs" in the corner's of the page. Overall, it's refreshing to remember that we cannot not make meaning. We are always trying to form a meaning-making system. And in this poem, I love the elaborate meaning-making system, both verbal and visual.
