Notes About The Poem

I Aim To Entertain You

I Love Writing Poetry My words flow freely Once my brain gets into the groove If possible I try my best to write with humour Because laughter is the best medicine … and it is much cheaper than a prescription! 3~08~15 Contest – Fibonacci – Rob Carmack Checked with how many syllables 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 ~awarded 15th place~

I always know where to go when I need a smile. I actually like the centering, although I've never seen a Fibonacci centered. This reminds me of a water fountain.

It's my first attempt at the poem - I will amend it to be not centered - don't want to fall foul of the rules lol but will center it again after the contest:-) Hugs jan xx

Great verse, Jan. And it's nice to see an accompanying self portrait- I think I imagined you looking like that in the first place. Good luck, love, hugs, squiffy warm stuff, etc. Viv x
