In Search of the Golden Fib

It’s official. Poetry + Maths = The Fib, a fun but highly addictive writing form inspired by the mysterious Fibonacci Sequence. It goes a bit like this:

Shark.
Girl
swimming.
Orchestra
rises from the depths,
horsehair snaps; you can guess the rest.

This one’s by Simon Barraclough. Head over to the London Word Festival website and join in their celebration of the form and submit your own in their search for the Golden Fib.
