Finale round 2
by Pita Author IconMail Icon
A Fibonacci sequence is found constantly in nature. The poetry form was created by Gregory K. Pincus in 2010 (I think.) And he conceived it as a 6 line poem.

How it presents is:
1+ 0 = 1
1+ 1 = 2
1+ 2 = 3
2+ 3 = 5
3+5 = 8
5 + 8 = 13

So basically you start with one. After that you add the sums.. so 1+ 1 = 2, then you add the one above it to the 2 and get three, and so on.

These series control how many petals a daisy has, most flowers/petals/parts, the symmetry of leaf and fruit development, and most amazingly pine cones. (On pine cones count the rows of scales going in one direction, count the rows of scales in the other direction. Look at the base of the cone and count the rings of baby scales, it will be the sum of these two numbers.)
Read this carefully:

A Fibonacci poem will use the following format (the number = number of syllables per line.)

1
1
2
3
5
8
13
21

You may will write your poem of at least six but no more than eight lines (34 syllables.)

ETA: Deadline Noon Sunday (WDC time)
