Tell us a fib!
I was reading about a recently invented poetic form called the 'fib' today on the Guardian website. See here for info:http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/book...y-pi-fibonacci
The fib is a poetic form based on the Fibonacci numbers. The poem consists of 6 lines with a syllable count 1,1,2,3,5,8.
Well it looks like fun, so I've had a go. Why don't you join me poetic maths enthusiasts?
Number crunching
Yum.
Six,
seven,
eight, nine, one
delicious numbers
for my tum. Crunch! Munch! Minus one.

I will play, but shouldn't this be in games and contests?
Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
"Forward, the Light Brigade!
"Charge for the guns!" he said:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
Into the valley of Death, perhaps, sooner, as far as I am concerned, than into the teeth of this Fibonacci!!
But of course I admire you for being willing to try practically anything!
To
do
something
stupid, not
is do to do it
with no not for a never no.
I
tried
this fib
but found that I had
fallen short of the requirements!
What
a
is be
is is a be
what is be a what
what is what is is be what is.
Sigh.
Some
people
are so hard
to please. You know what
they say? Everyone's a critic!

This
thing,
this fib,
as you call
it, is such a pain
that I’ll ignore it hereafter
oh,
well,
let me
begin one:
this is difficult,
but I'm sure things will turn out fine.
Not
a
nother
of these damned
pesky little things!
When will it all come to an end!
when
we
all find
these poems
less of a challenge
fibonacci will be broken.
squeeze
hold
on tight
I think I
might just fit this one
in. How terrible. My maths sucks!
why
do
these things
at all folks
when most make little
sense, pray tell me, pray tell me please
Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way
that we cope with our lives...
I'll have a go. Are they supposed to come full circle?
Cat,
called
mini
lioness,
curious nine-lived
creature bounds, capturing crickets
"Don't matter who they are, anybody sets foot in this house, they are company and don't let me catch you remarking on their ways like you were so high and mighty."
