March Pi-Archimedes #14 – Happy Pi Day!

Happy Pi Day
(I like strawberry rhubarb or lemon merengue…)

I’m enthralled by
Fibonacci
spirals, golden sequences and
Pi
math applied in pictures, chaos
give me art, i’m lost from A to B

It’s no secret that I am lacking when it comes to higher math concepts, but my artistic side can certainly appreciate the beauty of math applied in art, nature and cool poetry forms like the Pi-Archimedes! Happy Pi Day! 😉


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…

filthy rich

it’s a nasty
truth
once hidden, now revealed
privilege
is not content with luxury
that most will never know…they want it all

…inspired by current events…rich parents behaving badly. When it came time to get their progeny into the best colleges they did what any parent would do ( not hardly ). They found a shady way to pay the way for their kid to gain admission to elite schools. Rules be damned for the “haves” in this world! 🤬

fear ~ love ~ fear

there is enough
fear
to keep us all
shuttered
behind locked doors and walls
there is enough love too, but fear is stronger

led a-stray

a feral tiger
cat
rubs against my leg
purring
when i’m on my walks
damn cat, I worry when I don’t see him

a rose is…

a rose is…

she’s of a certain
age, you know, a
real beauty in
her prime but
clinging to her
withered gown
makes her look
old with fading
mane once
vibrant, sweet her
fragrance reeks of
musty death, they think
it’s time she gives
this ruse rest, the
reaper waits with
pruning shears, she’s
had her summer
in the sun, to yield
at long last, it’s for
the best, she’s of
a certain age you
know, clinging to
her faded gown but
she’s not finished,
being beautiful, not
yet, she’s not
finished, no, not yet
