A Pi Poem -a slice of myself
"You know Pi as the sixteenth letter of the Greek alphabet. But Pi is also used as poetry form. I discovered a small explanation on the page of angel2blue, 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

A Slice of Myself


I am me.
Myself.
Tis I. C’est moi.
I.
I am a free spirit;
a piece of driftwood, a monarch butterfly, a seed
wind surfing.
I’m a creature of my imagination,
a creation of my dreams:
a three dimensional
collage of all I’ve ever
done, been, seen, tasted, wept, slept, or heard.
Part illusion, part mirage, part shadow and part substance
Blended with music and combined in dance.
Illumined by language, quenched by connotations, I write myself
Into being. Voilà.
