Pi Poetry
Something great to do for "Pi Day"
March 14 = 3/14
A few of us at work started making up poetry made with respects
to the digits in Pi (3.1415...).
Here are a few samples:
Piaphrase:
Phrases or sentences in which the
number of characters in each word follow the digits in
the sequence of Pi.
|
Mike Rollins: "The I that a world neglected to notice knows how peace resolves adversity"
|
|
Ron Smith: "Wow, a file I found downloads, is zipped tight, and still launches WindowsXP"
|
|
Mark Sonntag: "For a dime I speak violently or wander about the green pastures elegantly washing catatonic fur"
