I Wonder – a 41 line Pi Poem

The Poem: without the syllable count. on each line:

I wonder

how

I can write Pi

verse

from numerical

digits , when facts occasionally

vanish

difficult to obtain

quests often take me

off the grid

I slip off Pi path

lost in tangled strings of cyphers

Can you offer some useful advice?

Is authoring forty-line poems

possible without map of landscape?

consider

I might

fail again

lose count, or get somewhat confused,

information

overload overwhelms

my brain

I would like to resolve

challenge today

before I

begin my

next job assignment for today

fall weather

becomes

cooler with low temperatures

frost turns green grass stiff, sterling silver

slippery sidewalks

-0-

melting

in today’s late morning sunshine

My goal to write one Pi poem

before next March._I

need to deliver something great

prove to myself that I still

can

Below is the same poem but with the Pi Sequencing of numbers on each line.

I make a list of the Pi numbers before I begin writing.

This gives me the structure or grid, on which I develop a poem

This is using a left brain activity, to build on with my free-flowing right brain. A good combination of Hands and Brain working together.

My Writing Action Plan:

God has a life-affirming VISION for every person.

A unique personal plan is a foundational gift, given at birth.

Discover your personal gifts.

Discover the DREAM for your creative spirit.

Pray and ask God to reveal what he has planned for your life.

I promise, He answers in a way that might knock your socks off!

When the Holy Spirit gently whispers brilliant ideas and fresh discoveries, write it down.

Make it plain.

Running in circles?

God gives us a BRILLIANT PLAN that actually WORKS.

Seek God’s direction in all you do. Our Creator gives us all the guidance we will ever need.

Habakkuk 2:2-3 English Standard Version 2016 (ESV)

And the LORD answered me: “Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it. For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay.
