POEM:

“A LINE AND POINTS:

GEOMETRIC ODYSSEY."
CATCH-UP FRIDAY
MARCH 1, 2024
In the realms of lines and points, we start our quest,
With compass and straightedge, we seek the best.
To bisect a segment, we draw with care,
A perpendicular line, precise and fair.

Through midpoint found, the segment divides,

In perfect halves, where balance resides.
Next, angle bisector, we craft anew,
Dividing angles, with precision true.
From vertex outward, we draw a line,
To where it meets the angle's confines.
Dividing the angle with equal measure,
Creating harmony, a geometric treasure.

Then parallel lines, in silent grace,

Never meeting, in any space.
With a point and a line, we trace their course,
Equal distance maintained, a steadfast force.
Lastly, perpendicular lines we form,
At ninety degrees, they stand uniform.
Meeting at right angles, firm and strong,
In geometric harmony, they belong.

In the realms of lines and points, our journey ends,

With constructions precise, and minds that transcend.
Through angles and segments, we find our way,
In the realm of geometry, where beauty holds sway.
