2022 Pi(e)ku Contest Winners

Pi(e)ku Contest 2022

The theme this year was “Peace of Pie.”

Every year, we are blown away by pie-loving poets’ infinite imagination, creativity, and talent and it is always tough to choose among the many wonderful pi(e)ku entries.

This year, we added a special category to recognize folks who have been contributing their poems year after year.

Prizes include gift cards and T-shirts.

The winner’s pi(e)ku entries were published in Petaluma Argus Courier.

Three layers of life

The crust, the mantle, the core

The essence of pie!

To share is loving,

While pi numbers never end,

Sadly, not my pie!

We all agree on one thing:

Pie is wonderful

Ponder a circle:

Walk ‘round its perimeter

End where you began

What splendor is found

When given a chance to eat

My pie piece in peace
