[Critique Group 2] 32-line poem for February 27 critique

[Alice Massa]

Good evening!  Gold Medal Writers of Group Two--Both pasted below and 
attached is my pi poem for our critique session on February 27.  The pi 
poem includes only 32 lines; however, I present the poem to you 
twice--the second time with the numerals of syllables on each line to 
demonstrate the poem's compliance with the mathematical pi.  The second 
format could also serve as a form for your easily creating your own pi 
poem for March 14 (Pi Day, also PIE Day).


*Welcome, Primavera: A Seasoned Pi Poem*

by Alice Jane-Marie Massa

Spring blessings

come

upon the heel

of

winter's frosted clouds,

on ochre petals of daffodils,

on trills

of robins' measured notes,

in hyacinth air,

from sweet voices

of children swinging,

from the soft whir of bicycles,

from fragrance of earth where I will plant

perennial Summer Soul

To hear the quiet affirmation--

dear Nature's

welcome:

"Primavera,

alas, your turn has come to choose.

How will our March,

April, and May appear?

Whisper

meteorological,

precious secrets

to planters,

gardeners,

tillers of your magical soil.

Bless their fields,

gardens

with fair rationings of rain,

lightning, tempered wind, prodigious sun.

Primavera, come!"

NOTE:Below you will find my pi poem with each of the 32 lines preceded 
by the number of syllables in the line.These numbers, in order down the 
left column, comprise the first 32 numerals of the mathematical pi.
