The Fib

[sebastienne]

One
Small,
Precise,
Poetic,
Spiraling mixture:
Math plus poetry yields the Fib.

~Gregory K. Pincus

I don't think I've ever been QUITE so gleeful to discover a poetical form before. And while googling to try and decipher what the hell the "FIB" international qualification might be.. what serendipity!

That gives me the maths-squee.. but I don't think it's quite so *pretty*.

I
can
only
read this with
acceleration
spiraling into a climax

This
makes
each and
every
stanza exciting
joyful and exhilerating

Squee also!

That is very pretty.

I
think
I must
use this form
extensively from
now on: it makes me very happy.

Dammit, one syllable too many in the last line. That'll teach me to drink and attempt precise metrical forms.

I
need
to show
this to James
when back from Maelstrom.
This will make him purr immensely.

*ignores the diphthong in 'Maelstrom' which buggers my poem up. Classics degree, what classics degree?*

I
saw
him at
Intrusion
just this last Tuesday
and did not think to mention it!
