Golden ratio poetry
Golden ratio poetry is an experimental poetry form similar to the Fib and Cadae. Golden ratio poetry is based on the Golden ratio.
Collections of poetry like Golden Divine, authored by Radoslav Rochallyi, are most probably the first collections of poetry of their kind in the world that use this form. This means the creation follows a strict structure based on the golden number 1.618033....[1] The book was originally published in Slovak by Tribun EU.[2]
A typical representative form has six lines, with a syllable count per line corresponding to the golden number, for example 1/6/1/8/(0)/3/3.
The only limitation in golden ratio poetry, according to the golden number, is the number of words or syllables, following the sequence 1.618033.
The Greek letter phi (φ) represents the golden ratio. Its value is approximately 1.618034.
The form of Golden ratio poetry based on the number of words may be as follows:
| “ | I (1) know that the little creator is (6) While to grow (3) |
” |
| — Rochallyi,Radoslav[3] | ||
Or based on syllable count per line of 1-6-1-8-0-3-4.
