Apple Pie For Breakfast

Apple pie for breakfast

Apple pie
Sweet
In the morning
Nice
Way to start my day
Nothing better to eat for my breakfast
Just Perfect
With a dash of ice cream
Vanilla and strawberry
And some cheder cheese too
Topped off with hot coffee and cinnamon
What a perfectly decadent way to start my day
While watching the morning news unfold
Nothing but news and gloom on TV
I eat breakfast

New Prompt: A somewhat older form to play with today for a change. We are going to write a ~Pi~

And the subject: Pie

Information about this form can be found here: "~Pi~"

You know Pi as the sixteenth letter of the Greek alphabet. But Pi is also used as a poetry form. I discovered a small explanation on the page of Jan Haag, who has written several poems in Pi form.

The Pi is built up in words and follows the mathematical number that stands for Pi:
PI = 3.141592653589793

An example:

The Magic Paintbrush
chooses
bright colours to paint
a
landscape in the style of
Vincent van Gogh; many sunflowers in a field...
Or abstract
like the works of Pablo Picasso,
he uses red and blue
for his masterpiece.
Maybe the Magic Paintbrush is
choosing brown and green to paint a forest,
a deer, hiding between the trees just got noticed
by birds, playing hide and seek again.
It adds a few coloured mushrooms in a corner,
a landscape finished.
