Piku

Yesterday was Pi Day. In belated celebration, I present Piku.  

Piku are similar to haiku, except the form is 3, 1, 4 and each poem must have an image or word or action that somehow evokes roundness.

Balloon fight.
Run!
Not that way, fool.


Ow, that hurt.
See?
A Volkswagon.

(Those unfamiliar with Slug a Bug, the practice of punching someone on the arm at the site of a Beetle, will not get that one.)


At the ball,
she
waltzed without shoes.


Wire-whiskery
cat
dreams of round mice.


Mud season's
here.
Look at my tires.


Sausages,
hot.
Delicious grease.


Pesky fly,
Go.
Circle Paula.


Around a
pot
snow has melted.


Come, Panza,
tilt
windmills with me.


Op'ra House
clock
striking, striking


The O in
hope
embraces us


See the dog.
See.
We call him Spot.
