Passage


Blocks ahead
But
There’s a way through

This here’s a (very bad) piku. It’s a bit like a haiku, but shorter. It’s based on the first three numbers of pi, 314. So it has eight syllables, three in line one, one in line two and four in line three.

So this is
My
First piku go

The second piku is actually worse than the first. For starters, it’s my second piku, not the first as is suggested. And as I wrote it, I had a nagging feeling that I’ve written in this form before, so as well as being awful and wrong, it could also be untrue.

However, as I said in my first piku (the first above, not the possibly untrue one) this is what could be considered a block, and I’m finding a way through it.

    Tom, thanks for reminding me that I have a list of these tiny forms, like piku, filed away! You did a great job, and I’ll try to crank some out during the midnight poet’s shift πŸ™‚

    I’d never heard of a piku before. I learn something new every day… πŸ™‚

      There’s always something new to learn, Diane. It’s a wonder how we manage to find the space for it all! πŸ˜ƒ

        I don’t know about you, but in a lot of cases I only find space for new learning by forgetting something I used to know. πŸ˜‰

          That’s definitely the same with me, Diane… only I seem to forget things I’m not ready for forgetting just yet! πŸ™„

    A “piku”….hmm…sounds like a Pokomon character! I’m most inquisitive about where the way out leads to in this curious blocky placeπŸ˜€
