Nice Fib, Jolie. I've not come across the form before but have since read that the first line has 0 syllables, i.e. represents Silence. Intentional or not, that fits in well with your theme.

Thanks Terence. These are kind of fun to write. I didn't actually consider the zero. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.

Hey JOLIE - I was aware of the fibonacci numbers - but had never heard of the poem format - might be an interesting one to put in the JPiC Poetry-Defined database

I really enjoyed your poem though - very "sleek" if such a word can describe poesy:

That very last stanza is just so beautifully written - Fierce actually.
A lovely write= Thanx for sharing it with us

Here's the directions,

Fibonacci Poetry


The Fibonacci number sequence 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13… etc.

The next number in the sequence is found by adding the previous two.

Ex:

1 + 0 = 1

1 + 1 = 2

2 + 1 = 3

3 + 2 = 5

5 + 3 = 8

8 + 5 = 13


Most of the Fibonacci poetry I’ve read on the internet is created at this level, but there is no restriction to the form. The next number in the sequence is 13 + 8 = 21. I’ve seen them reversed, mirrored, doubled and anything imaginable adhered to the basic mathematic structure. You can make it as complicated as you like. If you’re a mathematician, you can probably find some really cool combinations, but for us guys who like to keep it simple, this is all you need to know. This is a spiral pattern as illustrated here:

Thanx so much JOLIE - I'll add it a little later to the Poetry-Defined section

Beautiful Fibonacci Jolie and true to form.
I've done like 2 of these. They are fun!
Really enjoyed this, thanks!
