FW: Fibonacci poetry

[Mia Kalish]

Check this out. This came in on my ISGEM list, which is a group of wonderful
ethnomathematicians. 

 

The Fibonacci series is essentially a spiral, so when you visualize the
words of the poems the way they would have to look, and then spin them, you
get something that looks like a galaxy. 

 

I am imagining this in Diné Bizaad. It would also be good as Fibonacci poems
of sounds, an actualization of what Jess Tauber was talking about the other
day, but from a different perspective.

Subject: Fibonacci poetry

 

 

This isn't exactly ethnomathematical, but
. 

A blending of poetry structure and mathematics: the "Fib" = poems with
line-lengths of the Fibonacci sequence.
