Poetry Stretch: Fibs

Tricia at The Miss Rumphius Effect asks us to write a poem every Monday, using a form that she chooses. This week she has chosen the "Fib" -- a short-poem form that is based on the Fibonacci number sequence. o, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8... where each number is the sum of the previous two. I suppose the zero precludes a title. I have, however, used a photo inspiration for two of mine.

Why don't you join the fun?


Fib,
Fib,
Tiny,
Meaningless,
Thoughtless little fib,
Binds tight the rest, the best, of me.

Pie
Sweet
Tasty
Delicious -
Wind up with a grin,
Aim for the face and smear it in.

Eyes,
Lens,
Pencils,
And notebooks,
Our fingers and brains -
We’re ready to roll - then it rains!
