This week, write a poem with a Fibonacci element.
The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers that begins with 0 and 1. From there, each subsequent number is the sum of the two previous numbers.
So 0 + 1 = 1, 1 + 1 = 2, 2 + 1 = 3, 3 + 2 = 5...
and the series runs:
0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377...
The poem form generally called a "fib" (short for fibonacci) is a 6-line poem wherein the number of syllables in each line tie to the numbers in the Fibonacci series. Line 1 is 1 syllable. So is line 2, and lines 3 through 6 have 2, 3, 5 and 8 syllables respectively.
This week, you could write a fib, or you could apply the series in a number of other ways. At least 377 other ways.
You could apply the sequence to the number of words (instead of syllables) per line; or the number of lines per stanza.
You could also write in the subject or style of the spiral, like the one created by drawing circular arcs that connect the opposite corners of
squares in a Fibonacci tiling as seen above.
Or you could simply fib.
keywords = fib, poem, your name
