Does anyone write pi-etry?

I tried a few around this time last year. I just found this interesting blog post (http://letterfromhere.blogspot.com/2006/04/fibonacci-sequence-is-cool-for-short.html)about it as well. I enjoy dabbling in different forms of poetry.

I write limericks about the number i, and sonnets based on e.

I'm a true artist.

I didn't write any pi-etry, but a math geek at work brought in some pie. :D

sounds like poetry by numbers I cannot count nor can I write good poetry-what the hell!

Someone brought up the subject of Pi Poetry once before. There were a few of us who wrote something. I'll see if I can find the link.

Didn't find the thread but I did find the poem I submitted to the thread in honor of Pi Day:

encircled
round and round
and round her eyes,
peering 'round and seeing;
round her face, her head,
her lips to kiss so round;
circle round her arms
that hold circles encircling
concentric circles
circling round, round us up
circles in circles and ripples
of circles, loving circles;
arms that encircle
with breasts of circles,
undulating circles,
circles of feasts, tender, nuturing
circles of mouths encircling
breasts with waists
encircled by white aprons;
bowels of mercies
encircle and wipe the tears,
the encircling aprons
moving in circles,
pirouette on dimes,
circling the ebb and flow
dancing the circumferences
of an eternity of pies.

And Pi:

Both are in the Poetry Game section awaiting a reawakening of interest. (wink wink, nudge nudge).
