Fibbing May Be Good For You

The marriage of math and literature through the Fibonacci Sequence

Experimental poetry is about taking risks. Like anything in life, literature has a set of rules. When an author decides to remove the barriers to their creative process an experimental process is formed. It is ironic that in an attempt to remove the rules new guidelines are created that the writer must follow.

Part of experimentation with vocabulary is merging different arts or subjects into one. Take something obscure that is not connected and find a commonality. In the case of the Fibonacci poem, it is a marriage of math and literature.

A Fibonacci poem has a specific syllable count for each line. A Fib is the marriage of words with numbers.

The sequence is: 1,1,2,3,5,8,13 = 7 lines

It
Died
Looking
At the eyes
It was cold and empty
No soul was within its parts
It was an empty void of death and pain
