The Fibonacci Poem
Gregory, from GottaBook, has come up with a unique way to combine both the Fibonacci sequence, with the art of writing poems. The Fibonacci sequence, if you aren’t aware, is a pattern of numbers like:
1,1,2,3,5,8…
In other words, start with 0 and 1, and add them together. Each result is then added to the previous number. It’s a popular series of numbers that can be seen just about anywhere (in nature, in music, in art, etc). Now there are poems built on this sequence.
Right now, Gregory’s Phenomenon is traveling the web like a wild fire, especially after being posted at Slashdot.org. There are already 200+ comments, and plenty of poems to read. I even decided to give it a shot. I’ll leave you to enjoy my pitiful Fib poem:
Fear

My tool
In writing.
I want to scare you,
Because it is so fun to do.

Great Post!

Poems are already so hard to write, then someone has to go and make it harder. That man has a real problem.
