Fixed Fibonacci Poetry

I just realized that the post I submitted for the fibonacci poetry did not have the right number of syllables. It was a bad ‘fib’. ‘Fib’ is what they call this form of poetry. Anyway, I wrote my own Buddhist style fib to fix it:

A Tranlation of the Prajna Paramita Mantra
Gone
Gone
Real gone
Beyond gone
To the other shore, so be it

Why don’t y’all try, its simple:

………..1 syllable
………..1 syllable
1+1 = 2 syllables
2+1 = 3 syllables
3+2 = 5 syllables
5+3 = 8 syllables
then 13, then 21, then 34, then 55, …and on and on

And you can keep adding up the products like that. So what is the Fibonacci sequence? It describes all kinds of things we see every day, including the pattern seen in a sunflower:
