Oh, you don't have to be a mathematician to write a Fiboquatro poem. The Fiboquatro

poems are a superbly amatory gesticulation and oftentimes may covey your thoughts and feelings more articulately than spoken speech. Whether you agree on this or not, it is still my opinion...lol! The specific theme for this form is more of love and inspiration, but a poet writing in this form can have his/her own choice of theme. The Fiboquatro is a poetic form, consisting of two or three stanzas, a combination of Fibonacci and a stanza of 4 lines, with an abab rhyming scheme.

Variation #1:

1st stanza: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5 … Fibonacci syllabic count

2nd stanza: a basic quatrain, line 2 and 4 same syllable count and with an abab rhyming scheme.

Example:

Writing Fiboquatro

You

can

write your

own poem

of Fiboquatro

by combining a Fibonacci

and a rhyming quatrain;

‘tis lot of fun and so easy

to deal with and no pain.

Variation #2:

1st stanza: 13, 8, 5, 3, 2, 1, 1 = inverted Fibonacci

2nd Stanza: 16, 16, 16, 16 = all 4 line of same syllable count and must rhyme, abab.

3rd Stanza: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13 = Fibonacci

Example:

* Her Wings Of Love

her laughter fills the room, lingering over my skin

whilst frail soul dances to the beat

of her heart, lifting

me, beyond

my bed

by

her

wings of love, her perspective for living, not only for today

but, for a brighter tomorrow, ‘cos as I speak to her she sees

me as in me, of yesteryears and of now, for her, I’m no way

despite being trapped, in a special caring, a boredom disease

but

her

love that

I feel more

of a survivor

than a victim of virulent

seas of pain, ‘cos she remained the same, a loving wife

* Poem published in “Voices of Hope” by Global Poets Guild

Variation #3:

.

1st stanza: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13 = Fibonacci

2nd Stanza: 15, 13, 15, 13 = 1st & 3rd line same syllable count; 2nd & 4th line

same syllable count and must rhyme, abab

3rd stanza: 13, 8, 5, 3, 2, 1, 1 = inverted Fibonacci

Example:

* With Songs Of Morrow

though

I’ve

been on

this stage for

so long and I’ve met

unbeknownst, souls come and go, yet

still I’m not losing my spirits to a supple death

and, I asked no one to feel sorry seeing my black hair fall

for I have seen that feelings myself, when they shaved me

it made me sigh for the loss, but I’ve nothing to fear at all

for my guardian angel says: soon, from pain you’ll be free

you, dear love, the time is on your side; use it wisely

and cry not for me, for I wash

my sorrow, with songs

of morrow

have faith

in

Him

Ok, you’ve learned the counting and the rhyming scheme of Fiboquatro, now what you gonna do is to have some practice writing it. If and only if, I force no one to write, but I do encourage everyone to explore the fun of writing this new form of poetry, the Fiboquatro, so if you have time to spare and/or have the penchant for writing or playing with words, why not take a few moments and give yourself a try at writing a Fiboquatro poem for someone you know, maybe for your friends, for your love ones or just for yourself, for fun?

But remember (and don’t blame me…lol!) if you entered your Fiboquatro poem in a poetry contest and didn’t win any poetry merits/awards/prizes, it is still okay, what matter most is the person you present your Fiboquatro poem will surely cherish it, as if it were written by one of the great poets. Winning the heart of one person or simply making others happy thru your writing is great than winning hundreds of poetry awards/prizes.

Yes, many of us tend to value an individualized present or gift, better than one that's bought or purchased from gift store or online gift shop. Most certainly, other people do appreciate our time and travail we made on their behalf. So, come on, be creative and explore your senses!

In fact, there truly isn't an answer at all. That's a seemingly inevitable part of human nature.Selecting fune...

Listen to My Whisper

By: Ernesto Pangilinan Santiago | 02/10/2007 | Poetry
Listen To My Whisper Gee, there’s a beautiful muse And it is there… in my head Sometimes, it is in my heart It is always there And, it whirlwinds Within me I let it flutter down Like a yellow butterfly, nestling On my candle-shaped finger With a silver quill It was written, now it's a poem To behold, forever I wow myself Like I used to do, when I was 7 And I am so pleased To be here, as a whisperer--- Cheerfully, whispering unto thee The beauty, my aging brain sees

Poem

By: Ernesto Pangilinan Santiago | 02/10/2007 | Poetry
Poem Once, I was a poem--- A memory of a rose, ever-watchful Of the orb, whilst angel’s trumpet fills the air. Oh, sometimes then, I was a sweet poem--- The art of your heart; ‘Twas pure and simple, ‘cos that’s what I am. The poem and I---fourteen lines Of uncluttered life, warming the coldness of nights; Relentlessly, rhyming to the sound of your breathe. A sonnet of love, you proudly wrote Of me, but that was before… You lustily engaged yourself, with a free-verse.

Forgetful Poe(t)

By: Ernesto Pangilinan Santiago | 01/10/2007 | Poetry
Forgetful Poe(t) If you don’t want to speak, Why did you call me!? You’re disturbing me, honey You know, I’m really busy; I’ve a poem to finish, about us. Ok, come to my place, If you want; By the time you be here, Surely, I’m done with my writings. Speak, O speak to me now, I can’t let this poem go… Fluttering to an unknown grave. So serious, you are? As if I’ve done something wrong, What’s up honey, bad mood? No, nothing, O my dear Poe(t); I just waited for you, for hours. You’ve forgotten our date!

The Godfather

By: Ernesto Pangilinan Santiago | 01/10/2007 | Poetry
The Godfather I’m a man, just simply a man; Once a child---with no other distinction; I am neither your first son nor last. I cannot alter what God has planned, Nor stop sun to shine, Nor stop the rain he’s cast. So I seek a solution to the paradigm Of angst, and joy of life; Of the person I should be now. Thou, life’s full of mystery, and of misery; You were there to give me hope and dignity; No wonder I always love to be with you. But, when God decided… We couldn’t say, “No!” You left me with his everlasting glory. As time passes, I realize the greatness of Love and joy on the day of my friend’s son; I became like you---a loving godfather.

Sweet Petals of Life

By: Ernesto Pangilinan Santiago | 01/10/2007 | Poetry
Sweet Petals of Life There are times--- I fall, unwittingly and ‘cos of this, I want you to be near …for when my body trembles, give me the courage …for when my mind is confused, enlighten me …for when my memory is lost, remind me of me If ever I fall--- deeper into the abyss of darkness lift me, with laughter’s of the day And, if ever I weep again--- wash my sorrow, with hues of morn flowers and dry my tears, with its sweet petals Yes, I don’t want to live alone--- so this to you I ask, stay beside me that I may not fall into the pangs of solitude

O, Mother Earth

By: Ernesto Pangilinan Santiago | 01/10/2007 | Poetry
O, Mother Earth O, Mother Earth, you’re so rich, with butterflies’ songs and full of olden lullabies, sung by mountains and valleys while rivers keep flowing through the ever-changing seasons of life. You speak the language I hardly know, but your silver touch sends me a tingle, that great joy and laughter bejewel the lake of green. Your yellow orb scattered sparkly gems on the blue water of a mesmerizing sea; as for your majestic sky, it wraps, gently, its arm around me whilst I gaze, at-night, at the stars. O, Mother Earth, take me to the fortress, where kings and queens meet and teach me… the graceful dance of the wind.
