A Fibonacci poem is a form of constrained writing that follows the Fibonacci sequence, where the number of syllables in each line corresponds to the numbers in the sequence. The sequence begins with 0 and 1, and each subsequent number is the sum of the two preceding ones. In a Fibonacci poem, the first line has 1 syllable, the second line has 1 syllable, the third line has 2 syllables, the fourth line has 3 syllables, the fifth line has 5 syllables, the sixth line has 8 syllables, and so on. This poetic structure often reflects natural patterns and can evoke a sense of growth and progression.
The Fibonacci sequence is as follows:
0
1
1
2
3
5
8
13
…and so forth.

Sun.
Rain.
Warm earth.
Growth begins.
Petals open wide.
Spirals form in flowers and leaves.
Numbers weave through every living thing—mathematical.
