Sepigram: If
If hands could dance like butterflies in space...
I wrote today's poem in response to Christine Graves' prompt: "Magic Moments".
If
If
hands could dance like butterflies in space
and hearts could sing for all people to hear
if
we were meant to be something different
and share our laughter in any other ways,
would
we
notice the unique, deeper shades of life,
heed the peerless sound wave of love? Would
we
feel that we matter more than now
or just let go of our made-up fears?
Were we different, we would just dance.

What Is the Sepigram?
As you probably know by now, I am passionate about fractals. Earlier this year, I came up with the idea of inventing a poetry form inspired by Pi and them.
The Piku, a lovely poetry form, already exists. So, it was important to do something different. The result? The Sepigram!
The word is a portmanteau of “seven” + “pi” + “-gram” (‘something written’ or ‘drawing’). The “pi” part refers to the number π (3.14159 rounded up to 3.1416), which is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter.
The Sepigram is an unlimited poem that follows a “fractal” (or repetitive) pattern.
