Fib

Fib is a new haiku formula called the fib, following the Fibonacci series.
For those who have forgotten fibonacci series, here it is :

1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21 and so on .. ( the next number in the series is a sum of previous two numbers)

So a Fib is a poem with syllable counts of 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8,... in the its lines .. Traditionally a fib is of 6 lines (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8) but you can lengthen or shorten it at your own will !!

As :
Love
once
filled her
crimson heart,
now betrayed,she bleeds
with tears filled eyes,devoid of dreams

Have fun !! Play with words and syllables ;)
