BUTTERFLIES

This poem is especially for Joan Edwards, Queen of the Butterflies.  It is a form poem called a FIB.  A fib is a mathematical poem  (like haiku or cinquain) based on Fibonacci's number.  The number of syllables in each line is added to the two lines before so that this little six line poem has one syllable in the first line, one in the second, two in the third, three in the fourth, five in the fifth line and eight syllables in the sixth line (1/1/2/3/5/8).

Spring

time,

flitting

butterfly

lines up to eat lunch

from the sweet lantana blossoms.

     I hope you see lots of butterflies today.
