How Can He be So happy While she is crying Her eyes out every night before bed ~~~~~ How Can She wake Up daily And put on a smile No one knew she was faking it ~~~~~ How Can He give Her that look Full of anger when She didn't do anything wrong ~~~~~ How Can I tell Her that she Has dodged a bullet She doesn't need that gaslighter ~~~~~ Now She's The Queen Of her life And she wears a crown She made it out of her teardrops ~~~~~

Fibonacci poetry (or the Fib) is a 6-line poem that follows the mathematical Fibonacci sequence for syllable count per line. For the 6-line poem that means:

  • 1 syllable for the first line
  • 1 syllable for the second line
  • 2 syllables for the third line
  • 3 syllables for the fourth line
  • 5 syllables for the fifth line
  • 8 syllables for sixth line

There are variations where the Fibonacci expands even further with each line, but to understand how to accomplish this, you need to understand the Fibonacci math sequence of starting with 0 and 1 and then adding the last two numbers together to add to infinity. 0+1=1 1+1=2 1+2=3 2+3=5 3+5=8 5+8=13 8+13=21 13+21=34 and so on and so forth...
