A Pi Poem

A Pi poem - Word scheme like Pi with the following number of words per line:
3141592653589793


CHILDREN

Rollicking laughter pervades
demanding
I heed the call
focused
entirely in their noisy direction.

Their giggles trickle a path direct to my heart
in symphony
with happier times remembered deep inside
my weary throbbing soul spaceCHILDREN

relinquishing my adulthood
for a refreshing youthful sip
sliding down my throat in unstoppable wild giggles
from clear glistening waters dripping in sun-drenched smiles

like trickling songs cleansing my jaded soul
long weighed down by lofty schemes disguised as dreams,
not worth remembering.

We have to sacrifice a lot to raise children, but they
are worth it.
Come back Jo
with love,
Ron

Children are indeed a reminder that things could be a lot better if we stayed more like them. Thank you, Jo. Love and peace,

Loved the poem. I can relate as I become a child again when my grandson comes visiting. Victor
Reviewed by Debashish Haar 1/30/2007
Interesting, but pi is an irrational number, doesn't have a terminating fraction...
