A Pi-ku for Pi Day

In Pi-ambic Entameter

Illustration by Jeanine Schoonemann

Lines written in honor of Pi day, March 14, 2016

[Count the syllables.]

Just because
I
can’t remember
the
seventeenth digit
doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate
the deep
transcendental beauty
and the mystery
of the way
it just keeps going
endlessly on and on and on —
never ending, never repeating,
ever unpredictable,
defying any attempt to…wait…
what comes next?
