pink lotus
floats
weightlessly by
grace
opens to receive
beauty and softness of the spirit

In honor of Pi Day Chevrefeuille brought us this assignment:
I sought the Internet for all the digits of Pi and I found the next (short) value: 3,14159 26535 89793 23846 … and the digits go on and on, everlasting …
Let us try to make a Pi-ku with the above digits in red (3,14159) the lines of the Pi-ku and the syllables-count would become the following:
1st line 3 syllables; 2nd line 1 syllable; 3rd line 4 syllables; 4th line 1 syllable; 5th line 5 syllables and the6th line would be 9 syllables. To me this sounds great and will be for sure a challenge. So let me try to make my Pi-ku longer with those new lines and their syllables-count:
the sun rises
the heat
already tangible
mist
spirals above the stream
another day starts in mysterious ways

Your haiku is as lovely as the lotus blossoms. If only we were as open to the spirit.
