Golden Fibs
When is a Fibonacci sequence also a geometric sequence? Clearly this is not the case for the standard Fibonacci sequence but consider all sequences obeying the rule that each term is the sum of the two previous terms but with different initial terms. In Golden Fibs you will find a general Fibonacci sequence which is also a geometric sequence.
It's interesting - from the title on. I presume a comparison of basic vegetation growth with life in general; except the first stanza is basically negative and the other too are seemingly positive. And I do like poetry based on scientific reality - a great genre to explore and develop. But I'm puzzled as to your point in 'Golden Fibs' which BTW, is a great title.

Shucks! I missed it, and I did one myself this past winter! But only in rough since I missed the poetry meeting that was 'testing out' the form as a group enterprise. I must find it and compare consecutive lines with the correct 'beats'. I really should have twigged because I picked up your repeated stanza format.
