Fibs - Fibonacci-based Poetry

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the nerdy-haiku dept.

Gregory K. writes "April is National Poetry Month (and, it turns out, Math Awareness Month), and on my blog, I decided to get people writing poetry based on the Fibonacci sequence. The poems are six lines, 20 syllables long with the syllable pattern 1/1/2/3/5/8, though they can go longer, obviously. I've been calling 'em Fibs, and people have been writing them on pop culture, politics, math, and more."

    Yeah.
    Right.
    Breaking
    A sentence
    Into syllables
    Does not a poem make - how pointless

    If
    you
    restrict
    your options,
    you may be surprised.
    You might become more creative.
