Tomorrow

I

will write something

so

achingly lovely

it will make you weep, scorch your socks off,

this piece

I will write tomorrow.

Big thank you to Karen, who writes the blog 21 Wits, for introducing me to a new form.  It's called Piku, and this is how it works:

Piku is a form of poetry much like haiku,  with a prescribed number of syllables per line.  But instead of 5-7-5 like Haiku, Piku uses pi as its base.  The number of syllables in each line corresponds to the numbers of pi.  So the first line of Piku contains three syllables, one syllable for the second line and four syllables for the third line, and so on, just like pi: 3.14159265358979323846…  

In my piece the syllables in the lines are 3-1-4-1-5-9-2-6.

Open your heart –

that’s where the love is.

Open your liver –

that’s where the bile is.

Open your mind –

that’s where the thoughts are.

Open your mouth –

that’s where the words are.

Open your damn notebook (or word document) -

that’s where those words go -

and they sure as hell aren’t going to write themselves.

Well, I think the title says it all.  Other than this is 55 total crap words torturously pulled from my faded brain for G-man and his FF55.  Click on the link and check it out.
