daunting moon pallid
destiny blamed for recall
nevermore prevails
rising sun
smiles
new beginnings
#TankaTuesday Weekly Poetry Challenge: #Poet’s choice
The form for the second poem is known as piku: A ‘piku’ is a haiku mixed with the first few digits of pi (3.14), and the aim is to get the message across in the eight syllables (3-1-4).
First line: 3 syllables
Second line: 1 syllable
Third line: 4 syllables

I’ve never heard of a piku!
It was new to me too, Liz. One of my fellow bloggers brought it to my attention. It’s a fun form!
I’m constantly amazed at the sheer number of new poetic forms that keep popping up!
Me too, Liz! I like to try new poetic forms but then I seem to mostly stay with my reliables.
I tend to stay mostly with my old reliables, but I have added some new reliables in the past few years.
I haven’t either!! I think the last time I wrote a haiku was when I was in elementary school though so I don’t think remember much about the different formats of poems anyway 😂
There are a lot of poetry forms and it’s hard to know them all.
There are so many different forms, it’s hard to keep them all straight!
Always something new to learn!
Yes, that is why I love WordPress! 😊
always x
Thank you!
Magical… <3

Thank you, Sadje!
You’re welcome my friend
I love how you explain the form, I might give this a go ☺️
Thank you! I hope you try it and let me know if you do. ❤️
🙂
Amazing. Thanks for the fun form.
Thank you!
Most welcome.
Franci, that is absolutely brilliant! I really like the piku. How creative you are. <3
Thank you so much, Colleen! It was fun to write! ❤️
I’ve actually heard of pi ku 🙂 yours is verses are lovely 🙂
There is also a tau ku – 3 lines, 1st/ 6 syllables, 2nd/ 2 s, 3rd/ 8 s.
I don’t have any reasoning – just the counts per line.
I know there are other math themed pi type verses too.
I also like American ‘Lunes’
Jack Collom Lune is 3,5,3 words in 3 lines
Robert Lelly Lune is 5,3,5 syllables in 3 lines!!
And then there is the Tricube 3 syllables, in 3 lines in 3 verses!
Even and inside out haiku of 7,5,7 syllables.
Short forms can be fun especially when mixing them up!
Thank you! And thank you for the information on the other forms. Mixing them up makes them fun and challenging.
I am sure I don’t have every thing, but there might be others you’ll enjoy here at this page:
