COULD BE A FIB

March 27, 2008 | Filed Under big ideas, poetry 

(found this while wikipedia-ing):

 Fib is an experimental Western poetry form, bearing similarities to haiku, but based on the Fibonacci sequence. That is, the typical fib and one version of the contemporary Western haiku both follow a strict structure. The typical fib is a six line, 20 syllable poem with a syllable count by line of 1/1/2/3/5/8  

an example::

“	One Small, Precise, Poetic, Spiraling mixture: Math plus poetry yields the Fib.	„
— Pincus, Gregory K.[1]
