There is alot of math inside poetry, especially in the forms....you have the haiku, which is 5 syllables, 7, 5....and the tanka, which is 5, 7, 5, 7, 7.....and the landay 9, 13....and then you have the sonnets, usually 14-5 lines, ten syllables each, some with a rhyme scheme others without....and the sestinas, and so on.
