Cyclic Avarice(fibonacci)

by Clara Mae Gregory

Fey
nests,
founded
on the rocks
nurtured by the sea,
will swallow up each crashing treat
feeding the frenzy in nests of cyclic avarice.

Author's Note: This is a fibonacci number sequence practice where I choose to use syllables rather than words at the count 1,1,2,3,5,8,13. Suggestions welcome, especially for the title.

I think the last two wordsd of the poem would be a good title. This is interesting and it makes me want to try it. It brings many things to mind, all at once. A crashing of thoughts.

to fibonacci or not to finbnacci? that is the question! a question which may never be answered to anyone's satisfaction, still this lovely poem leaves a reader with fantastic images to mull over breakfast lunch and dinner. surely, this poem is a winner.

Interesting poetic exercise. Conforming to the structure frees the mind to light upon words and images floating out there or in here and to swirl them into a delight such as you have shared here. Thanks for the dip.
