Today we move from being pi observers to pi participants :)
Yes, yes, it’s cool to see all that can be done with pi musically (day one), in cartoon (day two) and with jokes (day three). But doesn’t it just leave you wanting to join in?! Frank suggested a pi cartoon that is pi-thetic and I bet he wasn’t the only one that got the creative juices rolling.
Yes, this is the tshirt I’m proudly sporting this week
Today is your day! Jump in with a pi-ku of your own. Pi-ku is a take-off on haiku, but instead of having the syllable pattern 5-7-5, they use, you guessed it, 3-1-4.
To prime the pump, I’ll share some from last year’s submissions.

Kristi, you are such a talented poet!
Beginning of the semester:
I don’t know

my classroom is.
Middle of the semester:
This is fun!
But
I need coffee.
End of the semester:
Goodbyes stink.
Yet
QQ remains!
Brilliant! A story told in pi-ku, who knew!
