Cadae (Pi)

Cadae is similar to a Fib but uses the mathematical number Pi (3.14) as the basis for its structure. The Cadae can be written two ways but I will only share one here. Pi poems begin with a syllable count that corresponds with the number in Pi. Here is the first twenty digits of Pi to use for your poem. 3.1415926535897932384

Here's a fun fact; March 14th is Pi day and here are some other links to follow if you are interested in finding out more: Pi Poetry, Pi and The Number Pi. By the way, the most famous Pi Poem is Michael Keith's Near A Raven.

Here's my example

autumn's laughter

autumn grass
sways
to opium
sky,
daylight's sweet nectar.

i watch a lone morning glory grow
among
the warm saxicolous
waiting for first signs.

cleft leaves fall
between my fingers
painting my skin in red-orange.

this insinuating color rolls
through my hand's fjord to blushing
roads of rubble, settling in sleep
upon the

devil's
cellar door.
laughter's sinuous sound rises with-

out incident.
