Pi (3.14286)

This is so cool, Kaya turned me onto this article on the forms of poetry by Red Writing Hood , which contains an article by Lansingerland who attributes this to a Jan Haag  (follow all that?).  Anyway, it’s a form of poetry called Pi Archimedes, Archimedes had calculated Pi to 3.14286, the form of poetry has three words in the first line, one word in the second line and so on (this is so cool I can hardly stand it), here is a poem in the Pi Archimedes tradition.  Note:  Pi is actually 3.141959…, an irrational number.


Pi

Unfold life's blind,
revel,
for boundless knowledge find,
paths infinite.
Dream of time's cosmos, it's in your mind,
unlock the secret hidden, be mathematics.
