Fibs

Beginning with an April 1 post by Gregory K. Pincus on GottaBook, much has been written about “Fibs,” that is, poems based on the Fibonacci number sequence, which begins: 0-1-1-2-3-5-8. Technically, these poems all begin with moment of silence, then a one-syllable line, another one-syllable line, etc. I’m no poet, and know it; hence you won’t find any Fibs here; but you can find Fibs and links to them on GottaBook (Pincus has a category: The Fibs). The New York Times wrote about Fibs last Friday. The DDC number for instructions on how to write Fibonacci-based poems is 808.14 (rhetoric of lyric poetry); the number for a Fibonacci-based poem by a new American poet is 811.6. The DDC number for Fibonacci numbers is 512.72 Elementary number theory.
