Sometimes, it is good to break out of routines. I had come across this great resource for Pi Day Projects by Eric Curtis yesterday and decided to give the Pi Poem a try, after days of short verse. I then added some visual elements to the Spreadsheet format when I was done.
Peace (in Pi),

Fantastic – perfectly transcendental 🙂
I went off and have been trying to wirte a pi poem and forgot to give you a comment!! Thanks for sharing this clever site with with clever way to write a poem on 3/14 or any day! You made my Pi Day happier by teacing me a new way to celebrate it through poetry!
Very very cool!
This is so cool and so uniquely challenging.
“Forevered turning weathered” is how I feel.
This poem is a fun way to write a poem— writing in math class or math in writing class. Either way, it’s worth the surprises! ~ Sheri
Cool formula. I’d like to see this typed out because I found reading the grid close to impossible in places; however, I did get the gist. Maureen Ingram wrote a clever Pi Day post, too, I think you’d enjoy.
What a very wonderful form, Kevin. I loved these lines…fun to read aloud: “stuck together, forevered, turning weathered”
This is creative on so many levels!! I also love this as a way to mix math and writing, the discussion of how this poem could conceivably keep going, and going, and going…
