Pieku = Haiku + Pie:

A poem about pie written in three lines in 5-7-5-syllable format.

The 17 syllables should preferably include a "kigo" (or reference to a season.)

Here's an example...

Tasty encrusted in gold         (Second line has 7 syllables)
Sweet slice of summer           (Third line has 5 syllables)

Create a Pieku (one or many) and submit them for posting on this site and on the Pieku Board at the Festival.

And give someone pie.

Seasonal Pie
Best tasted in season, no?
Joy is in tasting

-- Doc

Philosophy is
Our attempt to reason why
We all love the pie

Do not reason why
Ours is but to eat the pie
When gone, do not cry

Oh circle of life
Many layered crust surrounds
Deep meaning within

Behold apple pie
Flaky warm and star-spangled
Slice of pure freedom

In your own abode
May pie always be present
And be a la mode

Kitchen samurai
Create your own rising sun
Round, red, cherry pie

-- Pie Plato

The smacking of lips!
Then comes a huge, happy smile
The joys of being pie-faced!

--Kay

You must apply pie
Before going in the sun.
Pie is delicious.

Enter every year.

When you eat the pie
Warm memories bye and bye
Fill the heart and thigh

If you take the pi

Fall's empty pie plate
Pumpkin growing on a vine

Mature fruit in golden crust
A year of good life
