Slice of Life – 3.1415

Happy Pi Day all!  In honor of this special day, my students and I wrote Pi Poems.  A Pi Poem can be about anything.  What makes it a Pi Poem is the number of words in each line.  That is where we follow the sequence of numbers that follows:   3.1415926535897916 and so on.  Here’s mine:

Bulldog Pie

Large beautiful eyes,
Sumo.
Inquisitive, curious, always hungry,
Fido.
Together they fill my heart.
Sumo is distrustful of people, but Fido loves them.
Feeding time.
Sumo chews carefully; Fido furiously swallows.
They slurp water, mouths dripping.
Time for napping.
Heads hanging off the couch,
Sumo on his side; Fido’s feet stick upwards.
I love to caress and kiss their soft heads,
Then to give each a belly rub.
Pink tongues hanging out the sides of their mouths.
Are they smiling?
Definitely happy,
Sumo, Fido, me.
