Survival

Survival(Fibonacci )

Crisp
leaf
twirls down,
terminate
its eternity,
looks on a newly sprouted bud.

Sudden wind threatens to detach;
bud defies with hope
to flourish.
Life wins,
Smiles.
Blooms.

**Fibonacci
The number of syllables in each line must equal the sum of the syllables in the two previous lines. So, start with 0 and 1, add them together to get your next number, which is also 1, 2 comes next, then add 2 and 1 to get 3, and so on. Fibonnaci: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, ... Poetry: 1 syllable, 1 syllable, 2 syllables, 3 syllables, 5 syllables, 8 syllables, 13 syllables, 21 syllables...

    You did wonderful with this form. Great word choices and the imagery is wonderful. When something dies there is a new birth.
    Excellent job!

    Nature and life go hand in hand. You have captured survival very well. One leaf dies to reveal a new bud and that bud defies the odds and survives. So much like life. Well done and the form is excellent.
