Today for Carpe Diem’s Haiku Kai Special, I’m going to write a Fibo-Ku based on a Fibonacci Sequence … if anyone remembers a Fibonacci is a mathematical sequence … 1 – 1 – 2 – 3 – 5 – 8 – 13 … as you can see the sequence is created by adding the numbers that precedes each other:
1 + 1= 2 … 2+1 = 3 … 3+2 = 5 etc.
Chévrefeuille for the Special calls this a Febo-Ku … obviously the syllable count will be 1 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 5 + 8 etc … This is Chèvrefeuille’s Fibo-Ku:
sun
moon
star light
the breeze
this summer morning
birds singing their beautiful songs –
young sparrows playing hide and seek in the dry sand of the garden

Here’s my try at another Fibo-Ku…
black
cat
saunters …
the alley,
stinks of rotting trash
dark – dank … refuse of ages past
innocent, the cat generates mad fearful feelings
its life represents humanity’s superstitious fears of forgotten memories.

Both are interesting, but I have to confess that I like the images of light and song in the first one. Yours is kind of dark and scary for a Sunday morning read.

Really liking this Georgia — we used to have a black cat named “Bones” years ago. A wonderful creature. Part Siamese, too, we think — he meowed backwards — quite a hunter — and quite a lover too! o.O
This is the dark, gritty side of “Stray Cat Strut” and I love it 🙂
Brava!

Glad you enjoyed it .. I liked the idea of the black cat probably because I was listening to the piece that I put on the blog …

It was a great piece of music too – I’d never heard it before 🙂

Me either … I was looking for easy listening stuff and that came up. Love to go after new stuff.

To combat the sadness the Leonard Cohen piece brought me (I’m a sucker for punishment) I sought out some Miriam Makeba …. have you heard her before? If not, there’ll be some new stuff coming your way once the cardinal piece gets written. (Bribing the muses with chocolate and flattery as we speak.)

Love Miriam Makeba … and I may be a glutton for punishment but wasn’t up to Leonar Cohen …
