A Slice of Pi

Published March 14, 2011 | By Vixen

Pi-ku Haiku:

Lost an hour

Found

A late sunset

From OSI via A Challenge for Pi Day: Write Your Own Pi-ku:

Today is March 14, 3/14, 3.14, or as it’s known to many unlikely to have other plans, Pi Day. I’m learning about a few ways Pi Day is celebrated by so-called mathletes. There are pie contests and pizza parties. Those who can recite more than just three digits do so out loud to no one in particular, and the Exploratorium in San Francisco holds an all-day celebration. And some people, we understand, write pi-ku—haiku about pi. I say we take it one step nerdier and make new rules. You don’t need to love math to love Pi Day!

“And, after all, what is a lie? ‘Tis but the truth in a masquerade”

Disguise

Removing the mask

Of the life I was caught in

Liberating me

Behind the disguise

Was much hope, love and laughter

Released last night – Free

The Art Of Life

Published May 18, 2008 | By Vixen

I paint the canvas of life

With colors rich and pure

Sometimes my strokes unsure and slow

The edges of existence bleeding and blurring

Other times my brush is keen and swift

My creation crisp and straight

The pondering of what will be revealed next

Is the force that keeps the image alive

Spring, The Tease of Summer

Published May 8, 2008 | By Vixen

Although Summer hid, I knew she was near

For I caught glimpses of her ankles in a few warm dawnings

And espied her profile while running through the trees

She concealed herself behind a girth of cool skies and gray clouds

Teasing me with her peek-a-boo games of budding flowers and greening grasses

Dampening my pleasure with soggy visits of mist and fog

So I pursued her form, seeking to revisit the time we shared before

When at last I reached the spot where I’d last felt her warmth

I cast aside a layer of mulch and seasons, only to unearth her aura

Her spirit dancing ahead, taunting “Catch me if you can”

Flowering Bear

Published April 27, 2008 | By Vixen

Prompt #9 is from Rachel Green: Flowering. Head over to One Single Impression to see more participants.

Adorable child
Once a cute little pixie
Feisty tiny bud

Winsome, flowering
Becoming a young woman
Hailing a new world

Gone is the baby
Welcomed is the new lady
Lucky is the world

A blossom like you
Is a grand addition to
The bouquet of life
