For today’s prompt, write a pie poem. Yes, a poem that somehow incorporates pie…or pi, since the number 3.14 inspired today’s prompt. Impossible? Not really, for some it’ll be as easy as pie, but even for those who struggle at first, I’m sure they’ll eventually get a piece of the pie as well. Who knows? Maybe someone will collect the results and display them on a pie chart.

Here’s my attempt at a Pie Poem:
“dessert”
i’ve never been a fan of pie
& folks often ask me why
thinking i just haven’t tried
but i feel the same for cake
concerning those who like to bake
thinking i’ve made a mistake
maybe it could be the bread
filling me before i’m fed
i’d prefer gelatin instead
or another chance at dinner
