“Pi” Poetry

What Is Pi? by Molly Bocock

What is Pi?
Please,
tell me what it is.
Is it the stuff that tastes sweet and sticks to you fingers?
Or is it a bunch of numbers that float around you head?
What is Pi?
Please,
tell me what it is.

Three Tired People by Rachel Birkholz

Three tired people
pointed at the mattress store
for they wanted to take a nap.
One said, “Let’s go inside.”
Five minutes later, they were asleep.
“Nein,” said the manager. “You can’t sleep here.”
Two weary eyes from all three looked at him.
Six feet trudged out of the store.
Five minutes later, they were back.

Spring by Claire Keeler
Chirping birds
sing
flowers blooming
green
warm weather and wind
the clouds disappear and sun takes over
spring time

Piku by Kellyn Kusyk

My stomach feels bad
And that is why I don’t want
To have any pie.

If Pi is so great
Then why do we have to bust
Brain cells to find it?

Why is Pi the best
Repeating decimal, huh?
Why not just make one?
