What's a fib? It is a 20 syllable poem written in the 1/1/2/3/5/8 Fibonacci sequence. Lots of stuff in nature follows this sequence. Mathematically it is formed by adding the previous two numbers together to make the next one. So, 0+1=1, 1+1=2, 1+2=3, 2+3=5, etc. So, brilliant idea, you can make a poem like that, similar to a haiku. I.e. 1 syllable in the first line and second line, then two syllables, up to 8 in the last line. More examples here. OK, I'll have to try this. I suck at counting syllables, but let me give it a shot...One

If you're unsure about counting syllables, this is a page that will calculate it.
