Poem: Pi Day

article image placeholderUploaded by @Romiesays
If I'm writing confessional poems, which may be about something really weird is going on with me. So particularly because I wrote this quickly, I think it really wears its influences on its sleeve. Like, when I read it back to myself, it really sounds to me like Frank O'Hara and Ogden Nash and CG. Hanslecheck. That last name is a little bit less well known, but is a poet that I recommend checking out. He's totally good. That name is spelled H-A-N-Z-L-I-C-E-K. Hanselcheck

This was delightful. Thank you so much for inviting me. Absolutely loved how you played with the shape and the geometry and the circular nature of the way we think. Sometimes I just am smiling ear to ear. So great. Great. Thank you. Bye

Thank you so much for inviting me to this one. I really, really enjoyed it. It's a fun poem, and I don't think enough people appreciate spherical geometry. And I'm really glad that you put this into a poem. Take care

But just for the record, if anybody is approaching this poem not as a poem but as math, yes, I am using ratio in a poetry way, not exactly a math way. They maintain the same ratio because they're both holding on to pie in the same way that thoughts might circle back and circle back

And I'm loving how we are able to use anything. It's our creative license, right? And it doesn't have to be exacting like it does in the math world. Language is so fun and themes are so fun in that way
