Poetry Month Prompt #21

April 21: 

Oulipo: Fibinacci: In a Fibonacci sequence, each term is the sum of the two terms immediately preceding it; typically with 1 as the first term: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5,8, 13, 21, 34, 55 and so on. 

Select an article, essay, or Wikipedia entry, and create a poem using the words that correspond with the numbers in the sequence. Your poem will take the form of first word, first word, second word, third word, fifth word, eighth word, thirteenth word, etc. You can continue until you’ve run out of words in your article or until you’re happy with the poem’s conclusion. 

From the Muse Library: Chêne et chien suivi de Petite cosmogonie portative by Raymond Queneau. We have many volumes of French poetry, so if you want to practice translating French to whatever language we have the texts for you
