I wrote a poem for my pre-calculus class (yes, we have stupid projects) and we had to have 25 words in it that were required. This probably doesn't make any sense at all, but I would like peoples opinions and advice on what I should change. The required words are highlighted in yellow.

It's titled "The Inescapable Sun"

It was like an imaginary day.
The sun was extraneous and synthetic.
It must have been 200 degrees.
The power was constant and rational.
Horizontal or vertical, you couldn’t escape its intercept.
The term that it stayed in the sky was a factor to the initial asymptote to the horizon.
There was zero escape from it and no solution.
The vertex of the sun was correlated to the top of the sky.
The coefficient of the sun was real.
It was like a graph and the sun was in the middle.
The function of the sun was quadratic.
At the end of the day, the sun’s axis was divided and the sun went to the other side of the Earth.
The remaining sunlight disappeared.

The words I have left over are polynomial, monomial, rate, multiplicity, symmetry, and inequality.

Tell me what I could change to make it look like an actual poem, because right now it isn't one really.

Take out about half the words that you used a thesaurus to find, lol.

You mean the highlighted ones? Those were the required words that had to be in our poem. It's impossible to think of anything.

I don't really think anyone is in a position to "tell" you what to change. A poem can be without rhyme and still be acceptable. I personally think what you have written makes sense and flows rather nicely. If I were to make changes, these are what they would be.

It must have been 200 degrees.
The power was constant and rational.
Horizontal or vertical, one was unable to escape the intercept.
The term that dwelled in the sky was a factor to the initial asymptote of the horizon.
There was zero escape from it and no solution.
The vertex of the sun was correlated to the top of the sky.
The coefficient of the sun was real.
It was like a graph and the sun was resting in the middle.
The function of the sun was quadratic.
At the end of the day, the sun’s axis was divided and the sun marched to the other side of the Earth.
The remaining sunlight melted into the hazy dusk.

Thanks, that makes it seem a little more poetetic. Since I have to go to bed, I'm just going to use this.

Following on from

The remaining sunlight disappeared.
I pondered at the multiplicity of the monomial ahead of me,
But realised polynomial or not the difference was equivocal,
For the rate of change in the amount of light,
Dignified an uncanny symmetry of day and night,
But in the end the inequality remains.

I'm still wondering wtf that has to do with calculus.
Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.

my thoughts exactly. We never did this in calculus.
once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot  xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

Other chemistry classes last year had to do "lab safety poems."  Glad I was in the class with one of the best teachers in the school, if not the best.  Good teacher, funny, and pretty chill with just about anything.

mine was the best
me and some kid drew a soccer field on one of the "lab tables" and played on it
we made up a stadium name and had different countries, it was legit
the teacher thought it was awesome lol

edit: plus she was from nigeria and she went to college in england so she had a sick accent
