Immersion--By Karen O'Leary--United States

Immersion*

I
rise
and dwell,
mingling mute,
in the world’s beauty.
The cumulus clouds wave over
the field until the tide changes, and the moon’s light shines.

*(Poetry Form--Fibonacci)

  2. Dear Karen,

    I really enjoy working with you and Jack. Your Fibonacci poem is a wonderful composition which slowly evolves to a beautiful end, considering the rules for this poetry form I think you created a great poem.

    Best wishes,
    Inge
