Haiku have rules that govern their construction, at least in terms of their syllabic content. Why not change the rules a bit?

GottaBook, a librarian and poet from LA, has devised a form that mirrors the Fibonacci Series! In this form, the number of syllables for each line goes as follows: 1 1 2 3 5 8.

Math plus poetry yields the Fib.

Neat!
