Day 22 deserves another Fibonacci poem. Kudos to fellow slicer, Natalie, who reintroduced me to this poetic form which 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.

Aww, you have so many blossoms already to inspire the poetry. I saw first crocuses opening up yesterday. With snowdrops and snowbells this is about it for now here. The trees have nothing to share yet. Terje
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to see all those colorful blossoms! I saw my first crocuses yesterday, but they will soon be covered by snow. Ah well. Luckily they are hardy flowers and spring is clearly on the way.
