A Fibonacci poem, in which the # of syllables per line = the sum of the # of syllables in the 2 preceding lines.

Who
would
have thought
that one man
would be inspired to
come up with a numerical
sequence that depicts so many things found in nature
such as leaf arrangement in plants, pattern of florets of a flower, bracts of pinecones,
spirals of seashells and whorls of galaxies and hurricanes? This Golden Ratio, symbol for which is ‘phi,’ one point six one eight, is a
fundamental characteristic of the universe. Can one, by searching, find the divine? The question vexed Job, but Fibonacci, if he did not, may have come close, for has it not been said that nature is God’s second book?
