The Fibs!

April is National Poetry Month and last week's rictameter exercise was successful; there was a lot of participation. So I'm going to steal my idea for this week's exercise from The New York Times. Gregory K. Pincus posted on his blog about the Fibonacci poem. The sequence of syllables is a mathematical formula that continues to add numbers that are equal to the sum of the previous two numbers. The sequence is 1-1-2-3-5-8 and it's a six line poem.
