night day asleep then awake we give and we take smoothing out the imperfections placing new threads onto the loom and clutching the moon day night embrace deviate a cycle of fate weaving lush stories in our wake transferring tapestries to the places we create night day alive and awake fully captivate interlacing threads of our fates bridging morning and evening with promises we make
I wrote this prompt for this week’s Wea’ve Written Weekly challenge at the Skeptic’s Kaddish. Much thanks to David as always and to Deanna, who provided this week’s challenge, which is as follows:
The Fibonacci Sequence is the series of numbers: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, …
This sequence gives the Golden Ratio, or divine proportion, seen in nature, art, and architecture.
- FORM: Compose a ‘Fib’ poem(created by Gregory K. Pincus), which is a six-line poem of 1,1,2,3,5,8 syllables).
- VARIATIONS:
- Write as few or as many lines as you wish, as long as your syllable count is based upon the Fibonacci Sequence (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, etc.).
- You may write more than one stanza, repeating the amount of lines of your first stanza.
- VARIATIONS:
- THEME: Write about a spiral; spiral shapes in nature or art, or perhaps a more figurative or metaphorical spiral.
I really like the rhythm you’ve created with the rhymes. Each stanza starts slowly then spins out. (K)

Yes, I agree❣️
Sarah, I love how you play with the first two words of each stanza – that works really, really well.

Thank you! I struggle with poems with this type of lengthening structure, but I really enjoyed putting this one together.

I’m impressed with the natural beauty of your Fib poem, but even more so, doing three verses and repeating the process up to thirteen syllables with each stanza. Well done. ~Nan

What a lovely response and application of the form; a well woven poem that spirals, rhymes, and even has an extended metaphor.
