Fibonacci’s Poem
December 10, 2019
(!)
One
Word
It starts
Slow but sure
Expanding out numerically, adding more
Marching forward, doing the math, not asking why
Knowing the ratio of words, in this line and previous, will equal Phi!
A number, elegant, emergent, magical; found in sunflowers, shells and patterns musical; stark and alien in its perfection; meaning(ful)less patterns accreting
Unrelenting, an unending stream (One point six one eight zero three three nine eight eight seven four nine eight nine four eight four eight two zero four five six); An irrational dream, never repeating!
Note: A poem on the Fibonacci sequence where the number of words in a line are based on the sequence.
It is well known that the patterns of plants, vegetables, trees, etc. correspond to the patterns of the Fibonacci sequence… It is interesting to note that in the poem “Genesis from the Spirit” by Polish poet Juliusz S?owacki [1809-1849] he says::
“Mathematical thought itself seems to have developed in plants (My?l, zda si?, sama matematyczna rozwija?a si? w ro?linach)”
and
“Each tree is a great solution to a mathematical problem, a mystery of number(s) (Ka?de drzewo jest wielkim rozwi?zaniem matematycznego zadania, tajemnic? liczby)”
