Structure, or: Free

My 1^st Pi-Archimedes

Forms provide words
Structure;
Some may even resemble
Free
Verse; but don't be fooled.
Readers can tell if a poet's trying too hard.

I may have mentioned my math phobia however I had 2 sons who breathed mathematics from a very young age. I would often announce that we had 3.14159 for dessert. Anyway this poetry form took me on a wild ride trying to wrap my head around the cadae form… Which if I were truly evil would include in the August scavenger hunt. That said I’m very impressed with your manipulation of the words to fit in this form! You ARE your father’s son!

  Muri, was their other parent math-oriented?
