This pedometer geek poet has never written a Fib poem (based on the Fibonacci sequence), but for the W3 prompt, I wrote the following:
the
shell
within
a spiral
chambered nautilus
siphoning tentacles searching…

As a (student) invertebrate lab instructor at Ohio Northern University, I enjoyed learning about all invertebrates (well, except for spiders, but I digress) especially cephalopods. Some of the most intriguing cephalopods were cuttlefish and the chambered nautilus. Thanks, Dr. Eric V. Nelson, for all the knowledge you imparted to your students through the years including me.

This was my first attempt at a fib poem, too. Yours turned out wonderfully!

Thank you. To be honest, I had never heard of the Fibonacci poetic form until I read it on the The Skeptic Kaddish’s site. I will have to check your fib poem out. ~Nan

Thanks, JP, it wasn’t very elaborate (just six lines), but then I am used to writing short poems. Most of the others I have seen (and read) are more complicated with several stanzas.

Simple is good. Espeically for the first time around 🙂

I haven’t found your Fib poem yet, but I’ll bet you wrote one, and with multiple stanzas, too.

If you go to my blog search box and type in just the word ‘Fibonacci ‘ several one stanza verses come to light. (From a couple of years ago…) 😀

Will do, JP, and thanks!

I really like the flow of this. It feels very haiku-like to me. (probably could be restructured into a haiku!)
“the shell within” That’s so layered- like a nautilus shell. Good stuff!

Thanks, D. I really appreciate your complimentary words. It does seem a bit haiku-like (or tanka-like) and maybe I could convert it. The chambered nautilus is a cool creature, and this is the first time I’ve written about one. Will it be the last? Maybe, maybe not. ~Nan

Cuttlefish and Nautilus have always fascinated. Horse Shoe Crabs too. I have a collection of Nautilus fossils. What is most remarkable is that all three ancient creatures are still existing.

Yes, Cindy, there are living fossils living among us as you so deftly pointed out. Thanks for reading and commenting; I appreciate it (and your obvious love of invertebrates). ~Nan
