Hard to Say Goodbye to My Books

Hard to Say Goodbye to My Books

Hard to Say Goodbye to My Books

Have too many
Books
For me to read
Friends
I need to start decluttering
I own too many books and CDs to keep
My books
It is hard to say goodbye
To my friends
Love reading my old classics
So much I’ve learned from all my classic books
Each one, a friend through long years of my life
I’ll miss them

New Prompt: Write a Pi. One stanza is enough. Topic is yours to choose.

Criteria

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 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
