Being strange with poetry...

Tweet

I made up a poetry form that is sort of kind of based on the Fibonacci, in that it's mathematical. That's probably as far as it goes. ;) So this form, because one adds and then subtracts in each line, I called it the "Addtract". The photo may explain better than I can here, but the first line has one syllable. The next line is added to one, making that line two syllables. The third lines syllables are determined by subtracting the first number, one, from two, making the next line one syllable again. Two is then added to one, making the next line three syllables, and subtracting and adding as long as the poet wishes to go. Like I said, the picture may "explain" more clearly than my words. ;) The poem that I wrote below goes as far as the photo explanation goes with adding and subtracting syllables, though if I were to do another line, it would be five plus three, making the next line eight syllables... ~*~ My Mind is More Awake, I Think; as I am creating Weird poems. © Stacey Uffelman 10-24-15
