You Can Find This Poetry Sequence in Nature

I
You
here
existing
in parallel
timezones in the universe
an incredible complex system we are.
Filling a niche, fulfilling our story of existence among the stars
leaving our mark for generations to come
cocoons in the universe
human beings
surviving
thriving
here
You
I

We
perfect
specimen
of imperfection
reproducing, loving, living
warmed by the sun, a stable star supporting our lives
enabling our existence for billions of years
may we soon learn not to squander
this precious planet
we cannot
leave to
chance

The Golden Ratio of the Fibonacci Spiral Poem is a pattern frequently found in nature. I recently became smitten by it.
A great writer friend of mine has this to say about this poetry form:

“These are the laws of nature. (Quantum) physics,
biology, and chemistry make up our world. And wow,
it’s interesting stuff and so important to design
our future.” ~ Desiree Driesenaar Linktree.

I believe she’s right.

A Fibonacci Spiral Poem follows a sequence of numbers where each syllable of a word is the sum of the previous two syllables.
For example, in the above poems, the sequence are
1, 1, 1, 3, 4, 7, 11, 18, 11, 7, 4, 3, 1, 1, 1 and
1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 13, 8, 5, 3, 2, 1.

The sequence continues into eternity.
How very cool , don’t you agree. But don’t get impressed until you’ve read about the numbers of nature: the Fibonacci sequence. Researching that made my day.

Incidentally, in the first poem, I added an extra syllable at the start. Wrong? Maybe. But I needed it for emphasis. Hope you don’t mind.
