The Fib is a six-line form. But now, the syllable count is based off the Fibonacci sequence of 1/1/2/3/5/8. You can link multiple Fibs together into a multi-stanza poem, or even start going backwards after your first six lines, with syllable counts of 8/5/3/2/1/1.
Okay, so when I read this prompt last night (on the west coast, or more accurately for me, in that time zone, we get the next day's prompt at around nine o'clock at night) the first thing that dropped into my mind was this:
Possibly the Original Fib
take
eat
this is
my body
that I gave to you
do this in remembrance of me
That Fibonacci form is everywhere, it seems, even in religious doctrine whether you follow one or not!
So today was a bit of a gong show for me and I wrote these on and off as the day wore on.
Fib 1
first
world
problem
housekeeper
arrives, set to work
thought she was coming tomorrow
Fib 2
on
hold
auto
insurance
renewal again
I sit on hold and wait and wait
Fib 3
I
could
avoid
waiting on
hold if only I'd
leave a number for a call back
Fib 4
Fib
is
perfect
format for
writing when frazzled
as I will be until answered
Fib 5
all
done
car is
insured to
drive another year
all praise those who work with wifi

Today's picture was taken down at Millennium Park. The statue was part of Castlegar's Art Walk a year or two ago. I quite like him. He almost perfectly reflects how I feel some days!

Wonderful fibs!
LoL. Your fibs made me smile this morning.
I wish a housekeeper would show up here. Otherwise the work is never going to get done. Hmm, I should write a fib from this.
Thanks, Romana. Yesterday felt like I never quite caught up.
Ha! My life as a big Fib!
