Nau•til•us: An Approximate Creature Poem by Paul Geiger
Nau•til•us: An Approximate Creature
Nautilus, chambered.
Mathematics? Not really.
By nature only.
Smells more like…
Ah…normal distribution
(Of golden spirals) .
You could look it up.
FIBONACCI? Not really.
Logarithmic coil?
Not exactly. Else
One or the other would fit.
Only nature fits.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
My interest was to find out that the chambered nautilus' form is not perfectly described by either the logarithmic spiral or the golden spiral. Some have claimed one or the other does it. Nope. Only approximately.
