My
love
for thee
will always be
wider, deeper than any sea
more constant than all time can ever be
brighter far than any star
near or far
my love
for
thee.

The challenge as set by @Tree Langdon was to “Write a poem that follows the Fibonacci sequence for the number of words in each line. The first six lines have 1, 1, 2, 3, 5 and 8, words, and then it spirals back down 8,5,3,2,1, 1. Here’s the full sequence: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 5, 3, 2, 1, 1.”

This is my second response, the first having been submitted elsewhere. Here’s another piece you might enjoy Broken Promise.

Thanks for reading. Claps etc. always appreciated.
