Pi-Ku, We do love you!

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, in cartoon, and with jokes. But doesn’t it just leave you wanting to join in?!

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. I first heard of it years ago from my sister Elizabeth when she and Niece #1 emailed me Pi-Ku for Pi Day.

Here’s one I wrote when I first started blogging about Pi:

 Reflecting
          God:
not just for shapes

Life springs from
Both
Joys and sorrows

(I wrote this thinking of my dad)

Legacies

built day by day

Pretty cool, eh?

Now it is
Your
Turn to pi-ku

My name is Amy and I live in the messy middle of life. I have been Redeemed from permanent muck and live with the tension of the Already and Not Yet.

    Wish you could have been here for the crazy pi-ku writing at the lunch table today with my three men (AKA two teenaged boys and one grown-up boy). Lots of laughs. Here’s one:

    if
    I don’t pi-ku

    Majestic
    God
    Eternal Friend

    Unfailing
    Love
    For sinful man

    Creating
    To
    Share His glory

    Perfection
    Shared
    In round ripeness

    Eternal
    One
    Never leaving

    His embrace
    Wraps
    Around my heart
