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."

    It is obligatory at this point to mention that the band Tool (very heavy, but not simple music) used this technique in the song Lateralus.

    Not many people know that Tool's Lateralus actually follwos the Fibonacci sequence. Black, (1) and (1) White are, (2) all I see, (3) in my infancy. (5) Red and yellow then came to be (8) reaching out to me (5) lets me see (3)
