March Pi-Archimedes #8


infinity ad nauseam

no end no
beginning
symbolism borrowed from mathematics
empowerment
and expressions of never-ending love
an overused, pretentious icon whose end is long overdue

The Pi-Archimedes verse is:
○ a hexastich, a poem in 6 lines.
○ measured by the number of words in each line 3-1-4-1-5-9 to match the numerical sequence of the first six digits of Pi.
○ unrhymed.
Pi=3.14159…


Faith Restored

To the WomanWho Told Me to Have a Nice Day…

I can’t forget what
you did…forgive me,
I never got your name, but
I wish I had, so
I could thank you for
being you, for doing
what you did that day,
without even trying, no
hint of forced intention,
because
that’s just who you are…
kind,
with a helping hand,
a ready smile, and a word
of encouragement in
the midst of my shitty day…
I can’t forget what
you did…forgive me,
I never got your name, but
I wish I had, so
I could thank you

Noir’s Lament

I do not like this. Not one tiny bit.

“Oh, Bbbrrraaaadleeeee-poo-yeeeowwww”…honestly I don’t know what my mistress sees in you.

Today was the last straw. No one but me, the beautiful Noir, is allowed to rub up against my darling mistress the way you just did.

What was my crime, but love for my mistress? Love, and a gallant attempt to protect her from the smelly likes of you! How dare you toss me outside like a common alley cat. 

I am no alley cat, I’ll have you know. And you, Mr. Suave and Debonair, you are no gentleman!

March Pi-Archimedes #7

winter burn

bright mornings like
this
beautiful blue, sunlit skies
deceive
notice how the birds keep
silent vigil on tree limbs amidst frigid air, breathless
