Pi Day Celebrations!

OK, people, I know we're all disappointed about all the Pi Day Parades and Pi Parties that have been cancelled due to the Corona Virus, but don't despair! There is plenty of Pi fun you can have all day (note, however, if you're on your computer, be sure it has virus protection.)

Here are some ideas of ways to celebrate:

Pi Poetry



Example


PI Sonnet:

Definition: a poem of fourteen lines following the rhyming scheme: aaa.bccccbddddd; Typically a love poem.

Diameter, a straight and simple number
Alone and feeling down and umber
In boredom she would simply slumber
[Pointed pause]
But wait!
A number of a different sort
Up front, she finds he's rather short
Oh, but past the point, there's no report
of ever reaching an ending port.
It’s fate!
He’s different, yes, not Hex nor Bi.
This irrational number was her guy.
At last she'd found her Sweetie Pi.
And so, she proposed with an excited cry,
"Let's go full circle and multiply!"






Pi-Ku


Derived from Haiku (俳句 high-koo)
which uses a 5-7-5 syllable pattern.
Definition: A Poem in which the number of syllables in each line, matches that of PI: 3.1415

What is the
Point
Of
Never-ending
PI?
It's irrational.

Iambic Pi-Tamiter


Definition: A poem in which each line has double the syllables and the number of metrical feet as that of PI.

MatheMatical Ratio
a
Fraction
a Number-Crunching disTracTion
let Go
for You will Never reach SatisFacTion

Little known fact: "Eye" was originally "Pi". Yup. Really changes the meaning :).
