Four Little Fibs

The Fib poem is a short poetry 6-line poetry form that is based on the structure of the Fibonacci sequence. If you're not familiar with the Fibonacci Sequence, it is a mathematical sequence in which every figure is the sum of the two preceding it. Thus, you begin with 1 and the sequence follows as such: 1+1=2; then in turn 1+2=3; then 2+3=5; then 3+5=8 and so on. The poetry sequence therefore consists of six lines of 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, and 8, with each number representing that number of syllables. Here are four pieces that I've managed to come up with.
Life,
style,
missing.
Gone astray
each lost in transit.
Desirous to find new lifestyle.
Weak
heart
failing,
fading fast
yet, firmly faithful;
so lovingly unfaltering.
Fib,
lie
deceive
as you will.
Falsehoods shrivel up
when tasted by a truthful tongue.
Search
seek
pursue,
chase shadows.
Solace elusive
enslaving souls in solitude.
