This form is “Piku” ~ taken from the mathematical term “pi” (which is 3.14) and the poetic form “haiku” (a 3-line poem of a certain syllabic length). This form is three lines, following the syllabic pattern of 3-1-4 (in reference to the math term “pi”). Get it!? 🙂 Makes for a very short, simple poem. Which, in its very nature, addresses the Theme Thursday prompt for today: “simple”. The picture of a mathematical equation is also a part of the prompt. It is what made me immediately think of the piku form. [As a side note: it took waaay longer to write these “process notes” than it did to write the poem! LOL]
cool,

Simply lovely! Did you create this form? You have the potential to extend it to many more decimal places….!

Derek: No, I did not create this form. I’ve seen it on others’ blogs. And yes–it could be extended! But then perhaps it wouldn’t be so simple. 😉 Thanks for stopping by, and for your comment! ~Paula

Delightfully elemental and fun, Paula. And until you mentioned the 3.14, I didn’t understand why the form was called Piku. The name sounds like a Japanese animation character, like Pokemon or something! (Duh. And I scored higher on my Math SAT than English. Go figure!) Amy
Here’s a twofer:

I’m not sure where this form originated…but Tilly Bud (another blogger…there’s a link in my list) is a master of the piku! After reading several of her poems, I decided to finally give ’em a try. They’re kinda fun!! 🙂
