Fibonacci Poems Multiply on the Web After Blog's Invitation - New York Times:

Blogs

gossip
and rumor
But how about a
Rare, geeky form of poetry?

THAT'S exactly what happened after Gregory K. Pincus, a screenwriter and aspiring children's book author in Los Angeles, wrote a post on his GottaBook blog (gottabook.blogspot.com) two weeks ago inviting readers to write "Fibs," six-line poems that used a mathematical progression known as the Fibonacci sequence to dictate the number of syllables in each line.

The Fibonacci Series is a numerical progression starting with zero and one, where the succeeding numbers result from the previous two added together:

0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, ...

Fibonacci poetry, at least as defined by Gregory Pincus, consists of 6 lines, the first of which is 1 syllable, and the last of which is 8 syllables. (Zero is actually the first element of the Fibonacci Series, but Fibs start at one for obvious reasons)

Here is my humble offering:

Jesus
Christ,
God's Son;
crucified,
died, and was buried.
rose; we are justified forever!
