Live in Peace - FIBS

Goldfinch60

I

Climb

The hill,

The green sward

Flows all around me

As I commune with the glory

That the beauty of nature has allowed me to join.

I reach the top and see the light,

The light that guides me

In my life,

To live

In

Peace.

  • Comment from author about the poem: This poem is in the style of a FIBS - this is a fibonacci sequence where each line is the sum of the syllables in the previous two lines and conversely the reverse FIBS is the reverse.

                I have been doing the odd one for a while now and they can be great fun.

                FIBS were I am from means untruthful statements...you must live far from here? plus your poem is shaped like a Christmas tree decoration plus I liked it and will try to do it? WW

                  A fib is an untruth where I come from as well but in poetry FIBS is the form of poetry that I have explained above. They are fun to play around with, the syllable count can be tricky sometimes.
                  I hope you have some fun trying them.

                  Interesting form. New to me. You've mastered it with this piece. Beautifully structured and flows smoothly to an uplifting conclusion. Nice one - Phil A.

                  • Goldfinch60

                    Thanks Phil, I have been playing with them for a while now and quite enjoy the challenge they can present.
