Spotters



Note: This is a Fibonacci (variation) found poem.  I discovered the form via the Oulipost project.  It's my new favorite thing.  For a full description of the form, please read the post below.  I kept all the punctuation accept one quotation mark and only added the ellipsis.

  2. This is amazingly coherent for a Fibonacci poem! In these orts of poems, the choices the poet makes for line breaks and punctuation seems to be the key, and yours looks absolutely perfect "on the page."
