SOL 21/31: First Wheels

Natalie's post yesterday reminded me of the 6 line, 20 syllable Fib (Fibonacci) poem. It follows the Fibonacci sequence for syllables in each line. The six lines have a syllable count of 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, and 8 respectively. Credit goes to Greg Pincus for creating this form.

I tried to leave a comment for Natalie, but it didn't show up. So I'm leaving it here: "Naps are so refreshing, glad you enjoyed one yesterday." And thanks for the nudge to write a Fibonacci poem. 

 

First 

wheels 

glide to 

school playground.

Grandpa adventures,

a treasure chest of memories. 



 
My how time flies! These grand boys are now six, nine, and ten years old. The six and nine year olds have a brother who is four. The ten year old has two sisters, four and almost six. 
 
Thank you, Two Writing Teachers, for creating this challenge and providing the space and support for us year after year. And thanks to this magnificent community for sharing stories with me and encouraging my writing life.

  3. Cuteness overload, and your poem captures the moment perfectly! I love the idea of crafting a poem based on a series of pictures.

  5. Ramona, I love those photos, and then to think of how fast they grow. It makes me a little sad. I so love "a treasure chest of memories" in your fib poem.
