Night and Day

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:
      1. 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.).
      2. You may write more than one stanza, repeating the amount of lines of your first stanza.
  • THEME: Write about a spiral; spiral shapes in nature or art, or perhaps a more figurative or metaphorical spiral.
