((Yes, what follows is rather terrible, but it seemed like the most fun way of explaining.))
My
mail
account
has a thing
with RSS links
that are sometimes interesting.
This
time
there was
a link to
a quite unusual
little slice of the Interwebs.
There
is
a thing,
in maths, called
the Fibonacci
Sequence; a series of numbers,
where each new term is the sum of the previous two.
(i.e., 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, ...)
Some
folk,
it seems,
write - from these
numbers - poetry,
such that the syllables of each
line are the numbers from the Fibonacci Sequence.
First
one,
then two,
next it's three,
then five syllables;
next line, the three and five mean eight,
and then, in line seven, the five and eight make thirteen,
then twenty-one, and on and on and on and on and on for as long as you can stand.
This
form
of poem
is rather
geeky, yet I find
that it's also quite amusing.
But
now,
I tire
of making
ordinary words
fit an arbitrary sequence,
so now, instead of going on very much longer
with verse, I'll give you the link for the Fibetry, and a link to their about page, too.
