Over in creative writing class, I came up with a pi poem. I don't know if anyone has thought of this before: essentially, a poem versified according to the digits of pi. And, of course, it has to be about a circle or sphere of some sort (and don't forget the metaphorical structure!) Here's my first attempt:
I travelled
once
the wide, wide world
Went
as far as I could
Just when I thought I reached journey's end
I found
--to my wide eyed surprise!--
was back where I began
Other pi-related poems I found involved words whose letter lengths corresponded to pi:
Paul the Mathematician's Pi Poems
Lorreen's poem about pie
A reworking of The Raven (encoding 740 digits!)
or rhyming the numbers:
Steve Bergen's pi poem
or simply about pi itself:
A poem by Jesse Campbell, 3rd grade
Liz's pi poems
