How to Write a Fiboquatro Poem
In all honesty, you don’t have to be a mathematician or a rocket scientist in order to write a Fiboquatro poem. A Fiboquatro poem is actually a superbly amatory gesticulation and it conveys one’s thoughts and feelings in a very articulate manner than normal spoken speech does. The main idea behind such poems is of love and inspiration but a poet writing one such Fiboquatro can have his own choice of theme too.
A Fiboquatro poem consists of two or three stanzas, a combination of Fiobonacci and a four-lined stanza. In order to write a Fiboquatro poem, you have to follow a few steps.

1
First thing that you need to do is to make sure that you bring variations in form of the Fibonacci syllabic count.
1st stanza: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5 is the Fibonacci syllabic count. -
2
In the second stanza, you go with a basic quatrain but use abab rhyming scheme. Line 2 and 4 should have the same syllable count.
Example:
You
Can
Have all
The money
In the world
But without love your
Life is not really worth
Living
As ‘tis a life without soul -

Variation #2:
1st stanza: 13, 8, 5, 3, 2, 1, 1 = inverted Fibonacci
2nd Stanza: 16, 16, 16, 16 = all 4 line of same syllable count and must rhyme, abab.
3rd Stanza: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13 = Fibonacci -

Example:
her laughter fills the room, lingering over my skin
whilst frail soul dances to the beat
of her heart, lifting
me, beyond
my bed
by
her
wings of love, her perspective for living, not only for today
but, for a brighter tomorrow, ‘cos as I speak to her she sees
me as in me, of yesteryears and of now, for her, I'm no way
despite being trapped, in a special caring, a boredom disease
but
her
love that
I feel more
of a survivor
than a victim of virulent
seas of pain, ‘cos she remained the same, a loving wife
Example:
her laughter fills the room, lingering over my skin
whilst frail soul dances to the beat
of her heart, lifting
me, beyond
my bed
by
her

3rd stanza: 13, 8, 5, 3, 2, 1, 1 = inverted Fibonacci
1st stanza: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13 = Fibonacci
