Following an extended wrangle, our distinguished panel of judges has settled on a winner for the Undying love in ≤150 characters competition: Misery4Brett, comment #39. Misery’s entry, which Shapeways will be transforming into a 3-D candleholder, is:
It is dark
and when we kiss
my fingers find you
like candlelight
We’re still waiting for Kevin Jackson-Mead’s opinions on the three best entries of a romantically scientific or mathematical nature, whose authors will be receiving copies of Strange Attractors: Poems of Love and Mathematics.
If you haven’t read the contest thread, you should. It’s full of ingenious romantic geekery — and, as our judges demonstrated, there’s something there for everyone.
