Goodbye Mum... I Love You Forever...

Goodbye Mum... I Love You Forever...

Normally, I waffle on like an ijit...

This time, fewer words...

Interrupted words, because Si had to rush for the roll of kitchen paper to stem the flow from nose and eyes that a "good cry, Si style" is all about...

Bipolar-amplified hurtin' words...

Just letting it flow, all natural and slow instead of forever repressed until you're ready to blow, words...

Shut up Si, and just say it words...

...

I once knew someone who played 2 spirit flutes at the same time with his nose - there's your next challenge @Silenus! Hoping you have a good day today and that your grief is gentle on you.

Re: Goodbye Mum... I Love You Forever...

Thank you so much @Former-Member @eth @Mazarita

Crying is a healthy release of emotional energy. I feel much better for it... 🙂

Hugs @Former-Member

Hahaha... @eth

Oh and @Mazarita - the form of constrained writing is called Pilish...

The following text is written in Standard Pilish, to 100 digits of Pi.

For a time, I tried composing Pi novels, where the words followed numerical lengths equalling all of Pi's rambling rule. Nobody is really sure why the circular has an endless boundless ratio, perimeter's to diameter. Figuring away, a challenge remains - I pursue infinity's end, capturing eternally the numbers' words, a compulsive labor, evermore to illuminate beclouded ciphers. This laborious work that shall persevere, is not recognised, counted wasteful, a flimsy goal. Regardless, daring to continue, always in calculated wordings, computing sentences, desiring mayhap to conclude eventually all this drafting of wordy Pi's tale in mathematics. Hundred impeccable digits reached...

@Silenus, awesome!

And I love a shape parameter. In seeing edges, the truth. Formally impressed!

Is it your project to keep continuing along the lines of Pi to more and more digits or are you writing separate pieces of different Pi length? Your piece flows so smoothly and would not even be detected as Pilish without you telling us that.

My favorite writing project on the net that I follow almost daily is from a man who does 'erasure poetry' from a 17th century text. Erasure poetry is when you take an existing piece of writing and find a poem in it by selecting only a small number of the words. This man has been doing it daily for about 10 years (the original is a very long text). I think these artistic disciplines are like meditations.

Great to hear you feel much better for the big release yesterday. 🙂

Re: Goodbye Mum... I Love You Forever...

Yeah @Mazarita - it's a challenge to make it sound vaguely English... hahaha...

I'm going for the world record, which is currently at 10,000 digits/words...

I'm about 4,700 digits into my Pilish short story... it's gonna be at least 12,000 words long when I'm done.. 🙂

Hi Si,

Just popping in to say hello and offer a warm hug xx

In response to: Goodbye Mum... I Love You Forever...

Re: Goodbye Mum... I Love You Forever...

Hiya @Former-Member - warm hug gratefully received...

Thank you. I hope you are well... huggles 🙂

Re: Goodbye Mum... I Love You Forever...

I'm sorry to hear about all this, Si, you don't deserve to go through this, even though all of us do.

I'm glad to hear that you're coping well, though... I wouldn't do so well if either of my parents died, I would probably get hospitalized or something drastic like that. 😞

Sending warm huggles...!

Re: Goodbye Mum... I Love You Forever...

Thanks so much @Snuchu 🙂

Huggles...

The tears actually help. I let them flow, and they make my heart lighter...

Re: Goodbye Mum... I Love You Forever...

Very nice to read someone express their emotions, @Silenus.

Happy to read the bit that you write. I am all out of words for the day.
