The Teardrop Crown
Fibonacci Poetry (The Fib)

How
Can
He be
So happy
While she is crying
Her eyes out every night before bed
~~~~~
How
Can
She wake
Up daily
And put on a smile
No one knew she was faking it
~~~~~
How
Can
He give
Her that look
Full of anger when
She didn't do anything wrong
~~~~~
How
Can
I tell
Her that she
Has dodged a bullet
She doesn't need that gaslighter
~~~~~
Now
She's
The Queen
Of her life
And she wears a crown
She made it out of her teardrops
~~~~~
Fibonacci poetry (or the Fib) is a 6-line poem that follows the mathematical Fibonacci sequence for syllable count per line.
For the 6-line poem that means:
- 1 syllable for the first line
- 1 syllable for the second line
- 2 syllables for the third line
- 3 syllables for the fourth line
- 5 syllables for the fifth line
- 8 syllables for sixth line
There are variations where the Fibonacci expands even further with each line, but to understand how to accomplish this, you need to understand the Fibonacci math sequence of starting with 0 and 1 and then adding the last two numbers together to add to infinity.
0+1=1
1+1=2
1+2=3
2+3=5
3+5=8
5+8=13
8+13=21
13+21=34
and so on and so forth...

A Fibinacci poem that stimulates the heart and the mind. I liked the structure of it. Well written.
This poetic form almost washes the words over us, at a pace where it's slow and meaningful. I like the progression, of feeling almost defeated. To finally wearing her crown. 'she made it out of her teardrops' this line was my favourite because I could imagine the literal meaning. That is what makes it so powerful . Like a rip in the teardrop, and she walks out as if it like a door opened up. Fantastic. Never heard of the Fib, but I love what you did with it. Fantastic work Dharr π€β€οΈ
He no longer controls her. Very good poem
Outstanding and infinitely heartfelt poetry. So clever.
This is stunning, Dharrarr! got here following a rabbit hole via Angie's entry into Amanda's challenge! didnt realise anyone else had done some fibonacci related, well done!
Your talent is boundless. I like that I learned something knew, but the real treat was reading this. Heartfelt sad yet inspiring, filled with truth.
Well, I learned something new and ejnoyed the way you presented it! I''m familiar with the Fibbonaci sequence from my art studies a long time ago. There's a composition method using the "Fibbonaci Spiral" for the placement of objects. Thank you for the powerful poem and the explanation. I may have to play with The Fib a little!
This is interesting, Dharrsheena. I love the poem, and the structure seems perfect for it.
A heartfelt, mathematical poem. I forgot the Fibbonnaci! Will write one too!
Thank you for sharing this heartfelt and creatively structured poem, it captures the complexities of emotions, personal struggles, and the ultimate triumph of reclaiming one's own power and happiness, love it!!
I like how there's strength and liberty at the end, but not without sadness and turmoil. (I will also consider this whole fib style of poetry). Thank you!
Wow! Impressive! Inspiring too, now I want to attempt the Fib! π«Ά
Amazingly beautiful! I love this from several points of view. I love anything with the Fibonacci sequence and yet, this is the first time I encountered Fibonacci poetry. I loved it!
Impressive! (The format and the contents, you beautiful Queen, you!!)
Fascinating poemβ¦ even more so that itβs written in the Fibonacci format! I just learnt something new! Thank you! I only knew about Fibonacci numbers before.π
I'm always learning new types of poems with their definitions from you Dharrsheena, thanks! You are unique! Beautiful poem too! πβ€οΈ
Loved this!
It happens way too often. Good jobπͺβ€οΈ
This poem hits differently for me this time around, I will admit I partially forgot the message behind it. But upon re-reading it strikes a different cord this time around. I found this poem more freeing and uplifting, more inspiring! This was sad for me, it felt like watching a phoenix rise from the ashes of tragedy!! This is such a beautiful piece!
Dharrsheena, I love the poetry where you experiment with formatting! I also appreciate the insights on how Fibonacci poetry works. Is was a sad poem with a really deep meaning but you wrote it so beautifully! π
Brilliantly done! You've inspired me to try one myself xx
Form and content go so well ... both the structure and the story build together. Please, Vocal, a Fib challenge!!
I really liked this poem. This would be great for Vocal to do as a Challenge. Fib poems, it would be unique. :)
Wow this is so powerful Dharrsheena! We never really know what is going on in someoneβs life many times. Beautiful, relatable, tragic, touching. I loved learning about this type of poetry!!
Love this. So much said in each line
