A Fibonacci Poem*
Cold
Days
Looking
Forward to
All the holidays
All the family gatherings
Travelling long distances is a part of it all
We gather to renew meaning of family through food fellowship and arguments
It’s when the ‘black sheep’ of the family rise to the occasion the star of the ensuing chaos we grumble rumble and love them still
Calm returns and you no longer wonder why you come to these things thoughts return to story-telling by elders reminiscing on tales from long ago new memories and being grateful for family, even the crazy ones

For Thotpurge Micropoetry Month Day 5
*A Fibonacci Poem has 10 lines with 55 syllables on the last line! Kind of a hefty micropoetey, I say.
The number of syllables in each line follows the Fibonacci sequence (0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55…)!

I really like this. A masterpiece leaves us wanting 89 naturally. 🙂

Well, if you’re talking age my dad made it to 88 so I just might get there : ) Glad you like it. Though it felt like a meandering free verse with breaks to me. : )

for some reason my first though on waking was to try to remember the Fibonacci sequence so following you here is synchronicity – especially like how the poem evolves into the complexity of family gatherings with the number of words used
