deluded

turn
down the gaslight
please
it keeps me up nights
wondering if i can know the truth
when lies
are so easily spun
repeated over
and over…
no one gives a damn

It’s March, and geeky me loves a good Pi base when writing a poem.

Here are a few digits of Pi (π).

3.1415926535

For this poem I decided to write an 11-line poem matching the syllable count for each line with the digits of Pi. The 3. is of course the title set apart by the period separating it from the series that follows. And you may have noticed that the line count is 11…a prime number. 😊Im calling this form Pi-Prime. Geek out!


March Pi-Archimedes #31

butterflies

somewhere there’s a
butterfly
fluttering its delicate wings
creating
chaos, soft, waves of air
bellowing, swelling into tempests…change…somewhere there’s a butterfly

And…that’s a wrap. 31 days of pi-archimedic perfection. I have loved this form. April is poetry month. My usual micro-shorts will be replaced by NaPoWriMo offerings each day. Summoning the Muse! Let the words flow!

blind love

you say i’m
beautiful
even when i’m feeling
frumpy
you tell me i’m perfect
just as i am, it’s true, love is blind

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…

broken bonds

it is not
true
what they say, that
family
is always there, that blood
is thicker…some blood is like water spilt, evaporating

March Pi-Archimedes #28

dark noise

close your eyes
listen
the cool breeze is
whispering
the gloaming fades into night
as crickets chirp in harmony with traffic dinned crescendo
