Being a non-mathematician you won't get this; but don't confuse numbers with maths. A strong element of good poetry is the elegant and effective use of language. Maths is just another language, and many mathematicians (those who understand and appreciate the language) find a great deal of it very poetic. A site called 'theoremranker.com' could bear remarkable resemblances to this, but in the same way that few non-english speakers will visit this site, few non-mathematicians would find worthwhile content in theoremranker.
